Haha. Nobody likes you!
Becky O'Malley, "editor" for the Berkeley Daily Planet, is angry because a cop wouldn't explain to her what they were investigating as she was driving by on the road in her car. Yes, you read correctly. O'Malley wants to blame it on rudeness, or ineffectiveness, or something. Here are some good-to-know facts for the future:
1) Nobody likes fat old women sticking their heads out of cars demanding explanations for things that are none of their business.
2) Identifying yourself as a reporter to someone working as part of an organization but not an official spokesman for that organization is not supposed to get them to talk. In fact, any organization that deals with the press tells its members specifically not to talk to the press unless it is their job. This is because people in the press are looking for stories.
3) Giving "The People's Right to Know" as your justification is something you should be laughed at for. Becky O'Malley is "a person," not "the people." The readership of the Daily Planet is "some people," not "the people."
