Summary
Gus employs a new newsreader, Sally Smedley, without consultation with George. Gus and George decide to put her on for a trial time. Sally has limited experience and general knowledge but is very popular with the public. Sally manages to irritate everybody on the staff but an increase in ratings gets everybody a bonus pay increase.

This lengthens her trial period to 2 years. Damien is in trouble for stirring up some neo-Nazis. He supplied them with copious alcohol, copies of Mein Kampf and armbands in the quest for better pictures.
