Order Only: Selwyn is absolutely furious
Dec. 28th, 2009 09:42 pmRittenhouse, formerly with the Department of Education and Public Information (until he got sacked this morning) is no doubt extremely sorry that he decided to take two days off for the holiday. That was right about when that reporter at the Prophet was checking with the Ministry for responsive comment before running their article on the epidemic. I'm absolutely amazed it got printed at all, but apparently some brave soul over at the Prophet took advantage of light holiday staffing over there to sneak the report past their editorial gatekeepers.
It's a public relations disaster. Lots of closed door meetings as Selwyn and his staff are scrambling to figure out what to do next. The first impulse was obviously to deny everything (see Warrington's quote, for example). But I've seen the St Mungo's reports, and they can't get away with that much longer. I heard a hint from Tanisby that Selwyn's toying with the idea of declaring he's going to open an investigation, and then he'll use that as an excuse to clean house.
Dad, what have you heard over at Muggle Domestication?
