Corn Commentary

Chicken Little Journalism

One day AP Little was walking into her office when — KERPLUNK – a study proclaiming that corn ethanol will mean the end of the world fell on her desk.

“Oh my goodness!” said AP Little. “The sky is falling! I must go and tell the people.”

On her way to the news room, AP Little met Slimy Timey, who was going out into the street to hunt for stories.

“Oh no, don’t go!” said AP Little. “Here is the story. The sky is falling. Come with me and tell the people.”

So they both proceeded to get their stories out as fast as they could without checking the facts. On the way, they met Fretty Netty and Hoggy Bloggy, who were all too happy to join them.

As they were putting all their stories to bed, Foxy Woxy was busy dreaming up other new studies to create new crises to keep AP Little and all her friends happy telling people that the end of the world as we know it is just around the corner.
