The story so far
Everything you need before watchingSix hours to press, and the Church will not even hear the questions. That refusal becomes the quote. Mike then turns the same charge on the newsroom: they had the pieces, so why not sooner. A buried 1993 Metro clip lands on Robby, who had just taken over. Baron says reporters stumble in the dark until a light comes on, and blame goes around. For him, this kind of story is why they do the work.
