Edge of Story

We have grave news here. One of our allies, our dear ‘Friend of Utopia,’ had betrayed us. This is terrible news. He has helped us for a long while. He even jump-started our two revolutions. He has been a great friend and like on our quest towards a utopia. Despite all of this he has now abandoned the cause. Vision is in a better position than ever. The famine will soon be under control, we have an elected government. So, we do not know why he would choose to speak out and slander us.

Like the Daily Blurb, we have gone underground. We have decided to take a stand for what we believe in. We have taken a stand for Vision. I understand that these are trying times. We, once again, have a government that has betrayed us. Once again. In the old days, when we first revolted against the Eastern Empire they used propaganda to silence us, to force us into submission. Remember in our first article, how we had vowed to paint the news is it is, to be devoid of emotion and bias? Well, that is difficult now. We must take sides. When we paint the news accurately we inevitably choose the side of the resistance. So that is what we must do. We now paint the news as it is in the hopes that we will have a new government, one that is truly of the people.

There has been much dissent during the last two weeks. Many of our newspapers have said treasonous things. They have attempted to sow dissent within us. But, we will not allow this to happen. Here at Vision, we are strong. We will hold to our ideals. We will not be brought down just because of some newspapers. Despite these troubling times, we will hold onto our ideals and our hope for a better future. We will prevail.

Our government had followed through on its plan to revoke the printer’s license of ‘problematic’ newspapers. Just yesterday, both the Daily Blurb and Money Watch had their license revoked. These newspapers had become important to the function of Vision and a vital part of the news flow. No one was expecting papers as prestigious as either of these papers to have their licenses revoked.
