The local tv news had an item about a prisoner who briefly escaped police and led them on a ten-mile chase earlier in the day.

"News 9 talks to the suspect," the anchor announced, and video of a man in an orange jumpsuit being led from a police car into a building appeared onscreen.

The voice of an unseen and unidentified woman asked, "Do you have anything to say, Travis?"

"No," said the man in orange.

The image on the screen switched back to the anchor in the studio, who intoned gravely, "No comment."
