Sources say everything is fine. Source: him.
A news anchor in a dark suit, perfect hair, teeth that cost a semester of college, tossing lit matches into the air like coins. Behind him the entire studio is on fire. Monitors melting, camera rigs glowing, and the man has the grin of someone who just got renewed for another season. This is the whole news cycle in one frame: the person reporting the disaster is the person feeding it. The fire is content. He needs it hot enough to lead at eleven and cool enough to blame on someone else by morning. The audience at home sees smoke and reaches for the remote. He brought the matches.
