About this episode

A flawed man faces the end of his newscast amidst betrayal and the collapse of his world.

This is a story about a flawed man, born of privilege, who only lived for himself. It tells of the last day of his newscast; of how his enemies plotted against him until the final battle, and of how his partner LeAnn abandoned him just when he thought he had it all figured out. It ends with a podcast. It begins in the wreckage of KCOM Studios on the night of Deathember 13th, 2021. In Somewhere West of New York City, the faithful still tune in at six o'clock, waiting for the newscast to start... but it never will. The Fakist died two years ago. The Fakist: One Last Day, a new documentary, starting tonight on WAFM-TV 3.
