Episode Summary

When Bailey writes a news story on the Northside Children's Clinic, Les steals it and reads it on the air. This turns out to be a blow to the station's integrity in more ways than one when Bailey admits that she fictionalized part of the story.

      ADD ALLUSIONS
      • Bailey: I believe something like this came up at the Washington Post. The Washington Post reporter Bailey and Andy refer to is Janet Cooke, who won awards and acclaim for her story about a seven year-old drug addict. It turned out that she'd invented the story and the child, based on an amalgamation of several stories about children and drugs. Edit
