DOCTOR: I've been listening to your station, Resident Shahan. You try hard to be fair and impartial, don't you? Your predecessor had an enquiring mind, didn't he? Perhaps a little too enquiring for his own good. I think you do too, despite your best efforts to hide it, and that's terribly important in journalists, don't you think?

SHAHAN: Of course. However...

DOCTOR: The desire to seek out the truth, regardless of whether that truth is comfortable or convenient. That's what journalism's all about, isn't it? Otherwise it stops being news and simply becomes propaganda. And I'm sure that your station is not in the habit of being used as a tool for propaganda, is it?

SHAHAN: Indeed not. We are, and have always been, independent.

DOCTOR: Ah yes, but is that enough, I wonder. Who's really dictating your agenda? You report what has happened fairly and honestly, but what if the events you report are being manipulated?
