In Brief

Vigilant TV’s management crisis continues: our crack team of reporters keep submitting stories, and our crack-addicted editorial staff keep finding excuses not to post them. We’re working on outsourcing editorial duties to an Indonesian sweatshop and replacing the reporting team with a small Python script.
