A Hugh Betcha Special to Canada Free Press --Satire
In the wake of the tragic terror attack in Orlando which killed 49 Americans and injured scores more, Loretta Lynch--point person for the Obama Administration--decided to get serious about ISIS. It was time to go on offense. And, as is usually the case, whenever the President or his advisers need to break such a story to the press, they call on Ace Reporter Hugh Betcha, Head of the Middle East Bureau of the Stoos Media Conglomerate. Hugh, winner of the 2016 MSNBC award for "Reporter of the Year," recipient of the 2016 "Al Sharpton Most Articulate Reporter of the Decade" award for his ability to string two sentences end to end, a reporter who walks with kings and princes and is admired on both sides of the aisle in Foggy Bottom, was quick to respond to the call.
The reporter--with a bag over his head at the insistence of the Secret Service agents in order to preserve anonymity--was ushered into Lynch's office under tight wraps. He sensed something of great importance in the tone of her voice when she called him at o'dark thirty that morning.
