Jock Talks...Politics by Malcolm R. Campbell
The stories in this book appeared in Morning Satirical News, dedicated
to satirizing real and/or imagined events. The offerings here represent a
selection of the good, the weird and the utterly insane of
investigative reporter Jock Stewart’s news stories and Night Beat
columns.
Stewart, who refutes charges that he was raised either
by alligators or hyenas, believes that modern-day journalism would be
going to hell in a hand basket if hand baskets were still readily
available. He has chosen to make his stand for old-fashioned reporting
at the Junction City Star-Gazer, a newspaper that—while run by fools and
buffoons—knows the difference between real news and “stuff that sounds
like real news.”
