The newsroom fell silent as the heated exchange grew louder. The two men were practically nose-to-nose arguing over a single word.
“I’m tired of the use of the word ‘workers’ when it ought to be ‘employees,’” Bob stated.
Rich, the news director, returned, “I don’t care what you think it should be. The guide says ‘worker,’ and therefore it’s ‘worker.’”
That was the end of the argument.
Bob returned to his work-station and continued with the business at hand; writing and editing. Rich had a report to file.
The following day as Bob was on the air and in the middle of presenting the news, he was arrested and charged with seditious behavior.
