They give an overview of the media outlet and the general gist of their operations before diving right into the details of the scanda, which included fake interviews, fasified metrics, and fabricated stories. They also zero in on the main person implicated in all of this: CEO Carlos Watson who was at the heart of all their shady dealings. They round it all out with the precitipous fall of the organization and the consequences of the widespread fraud.
