In the Defense Against Tyranny

ÖZET

Francisco Suarez, host of the talk show The Patriot, has been given the opportunity of his career to interview Edward Ashe, one of two candidates vying for the Presidency of the United States. Meredith Grace is also running for President and is captivating the hearts and minds of the country including Francisco's daughter Elise, but she is losing. Having lost his wife to cancer Francisco Suarez attempts to pick up the pieces of his life and move on with Elise, who holds him at fault for her mother losing hope thus losing her battle. Francisco's desire is to be objective during this interview but he is being pulled in different directions by Elise, who he longs forgiveness from, and by a figure from his past, Emilio Bustamante. Emilio's contention is that the Media are the shepherds of the flock, the American people, but there's a wolf in the midst and the flock must be protected. Francisco is torn by the paradox that Emilio has presented and a decision must be made in the name of Patriotism.
