Episode Description:
Molly becomes editor-in-chief of the Brighton Middle School Bugle, the school newspaper, which has lost funding. She seeks out advertisements and procures a sponsorship from Flavor Burger, a burger joint trying to market its new burger made from Brighton turnips. She has also enlisted Libby and Scratch to find a good story for the front page, but when they hear that the burgers taste good, they become suspicious because Brighton's turnips are notorious for tasting bad. They stake out Flavor Burger and discover that the burgers are not made from Brighton turnips, but from parsnips imported from Perfektborg. Knowing that this will result in Flavor Burger pulling their sponsorship, Molly publishes the story anyway, choosing integrity over longevity. The citizens of Brighton are outraged, and picket Flavor Burger. Molly is sad that the newspaper will apparently be shut down due to lack of funding, until several other local business owners offer to advertise themselves in the newspaper, saving it.
