One day last week I was baby sitting my 6-year-old cousin at his house, he was watching SpongBob SquarePants and in this episode I was watching, it was about Mr Craps making a News Paper, and he made SpongeBob the main journalist. He wrote the first article about Patrick staring at a poll, and when Mr Crabs tried to sell the news paper to people they told him it was boring and they didn’t wanna read about Patrick staring at a poll. Then Mr. Crab told spongebob that he needs to make the news more interesting, and he gave him this great example of patrick
marrying the poll. Mr. Crabs even drew a tux on Patrick and a gown on the poll. The next day SpongBob got the point and he started to make false statements such as Mrs. Puff (a local boat school teacher) being chased by the cops,and SpongeBob also did some editing to the picture. SpongeBob thought no one would get hurt from this silly story, but that made her lose all the students at her boating school. Later SpongeBob says that the big tough guy named Larry got beat up by some little scrawny kid, and made him lose his job at the gym because now he had a bad reputation. Sponge bob also got the chum bucket closed down for false accusations. When the cartoon was about to be over SpongeBob saw the people he hurt and he realizes what he is doing is wrong. He feels horrible for all the ppl he hurt. So secretly he prints one last article about Mr. Crab and he wrote to the news paper readers what Mr. Crab told him to do, and they all go after Mr. Crap.
In my opinion this happens in real life a lot, editor’s just tell the journalist to spice it up. If they do that they know they will get more sales just for that article. Also people in real life get hurt like Miss Puff and Larry and sometimes they lose all their credibility just over one article that isn’t real. I think this was a very interesting episode of SpongeBob, and it wasnt just a lot on nonsense.
