Charity Auction News Team For Sale
Posted by Matt Davis on Thu, Dec 4, 2008 at 1:41 PM
Bidding is hotting up on the Mercury's Annual Charity Auction site, which has been live since yesterday. With only 8 days, 3 hours, 22 minutes and 54 seconds to go, one item is seriously going for a steal: Your choice of investigative report!
Got a hot story that you'd like us to dig into? Name your topic, and the Mercury's crack team of news reporters will pull up records, pin down experts, investigate every angle, and report our findings in an upcoming news section. We'll pull out all the stops to get to the truth (no refunds, however, if it's not quite the answer you were hoping for). Certain journalistic ethics and all libel standards apply.
Currently going at the bargain price of $47.98. So get to it. All proceeds benefit the Portland Women's Crisis Line.

Can I hire you guys to dig up stories for me to report on? It seems like that would make this whole thing much simpler.

The story I would pick: Matt Davis. Did you know that he is actually from Missouri?
The British accent? An affectation that he developed in his high school drama class. Turns out he has never been in the UK in his entire life. He is just "taking the piss out of the whole lot of us" as he would mockingly say.
