[RFC] ZNN

[Warringer]

Walter managed to silence everyone at the Fnord Hearing of the Joint Committee on Extraterrestrial Security in Washington with a single sentence when the press was allowed to ask questions. “Walter Cronkite of ZNN. Please tell me, Senator Kellerman, have you ever heard of Senator McCarthey?” (optional depending on what Mal says)

Unfortunately (from what I've been given to understand) congressional hearings aren't press conferences, and so the fourth estate doesn't get to ask questions during them. However, if Walter's mobile enough he could always try and ambush Kellerman outside the hearing room.

(Kellerman's reply would be "Of course I have, sir. Have you ever heard of the Rosenbergs?")

(Chairman Fnord's reply wasn't recorded, he was too busy laughing his ass off to say anything coherent.)

Followed by a very long match back and forth between Cronkite and Kellerman that leads to Fnord having to be carried outside in gales of laughter. It seen as one of the legendary broadcasts of ZNN, with both sides seeing it as positive publicity for them. The truth is somewhere in between.
Also interesting is the rumor that Noah donated to ZNN, however most dropped that rumor as Cronkite proved to be very critical against Stellvia when it came to Suzumiya.
And it's unlikely that ZNN would take the offer from Oscar. They started out with their office in Kandor City.
