The infamous one-eyed editor Big Burt commands a wildly cantankerous gang of oddball veteran reporters in a battle to save daily news from oblivion brought on by collapsing newspapers. He leads from behind a black eye-patch. They expound on local news that has been left behind in the digital age. Their sexual lives interfere, but the comically gathered news ranges from routine obituaries to black bears trapped with doughnuts. All sorts of lives matter as the veterans teach reporting to the next generation of truth seekers. Some of the reporting touches on secret endeavors in which their Hedge Fund backers have an invested stake as partners with the CIA. Covering up back-room dealings has never been part of the reporters’ heritage. Several versions of invented conspiracies leak to the supermarket tabloids. Will the sensational publicity destroy the true local news revival? Much depends on the rambunctious characters one-eyed Burt has put together. They plow new fields of journalism with fresh minds. Whether it lasts or not depends on how you read Burt’s philosophy: “When you know everything is temporary, especially being infallible, you have reason to hope.” Set loose, the gang laughs its way into the future.
