When "24"-related press releases promise one thing but deliver another
A press release I received:
"Janeane Garofolo, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Carlos Bernard and Carly Pope of FOX's Emmy Award-winning '24' are scheduled to perform scripts written by students participating in the Young Storytellers Foundation's unique mentoring program at Superior Elementary School in Chatsworth, CA on Thursday, Nov. 6 at 5:00 PM."
The headline, however, was "'24' Cast Members Perform with YSF." So imagine the glee horror with which I envisioned Jack Bauer torturing and blowing up the youngsters because they would destroy America/held secrets vital to our national security, and then imagine the disappointment relief I felt when I realized the actual scenario was much more benign if not downright mundane.

(He's coming for you, kids.)

David Kronke was appointed Mayor of Television after a bloodless coup in 2000. Since then, he has improved infrastructure, championed greater educational opportunities and fought for reforms that have utterly erased corruption and incompetence from the television industry. Since Mr. Kronke has ascended to power, Television is a far better place.
