“The Inside File” investigates the biases and methodology used but not always admitted to in television journalism. David Watson, the host of the television news show “The Inside File” is featuring a story on the mysterious disappearance of Karen Kotterdam, a popular television newswoman who went missing after a rumoured personal conversation with Jesus Christ. As David Watson’s story progresses, it is revealed that Karen Kotterdam was his professional and political mentor. The “hatchet job” he attempts on her character turns to frustration when he can’t rationally explain her enigmatic decision to leave journalism, and he is forced to confront his own beliefs.
