All I'm suggesting is that there might be facets of this that you're not considering. Why...
Something wrong with the clip?

All I'm suggesting is that there might be facets of this that you're not considering.
Chuck Lane:
Why are you defending him?
Lewis Estridge:
Nobody is defending him, Chuck.
Chuck Lane:
Of course you're defending him.
Lewis Estridge:
He's a kid.
Chuck Lane:
He doctored his notes, Lew. Just consider that for a second, you know? He sat down, and he hand-wrote a bunch of phony quotes, and then he handed them in as source material for the fact-check. Doesn't that offend you?
Lewis Estridge:
Of course it does.
Chuck Lane:
He also lied to his editor. That's supposed to offend you, too.
Lewis Estridge:
He's a confused, distraught kid, obviously, Chuck. So suspend him for a couple of months, but let's not bury him.
Chuck Lane:
[Shaking his head]
Suspend him.
Lewis Estridge:
There are also political considerations to take into account here. The rest of the staff, the way they feel about him.
Chuck Lane:
I... I already know all that.
Lewis Estridge:
What I'm saying is if you fire him, some of these people will leave. I don't know if we'd still have a magazine at the end of the day.
