Journos Break Into "State of Play" Filming

I was there on the set along with a group of other distinguished journalists — including Bob Woodward, Margaret Carlson, Bob Schieffer, John Palmer, EJ Dionne, and Katty Kay. They wanted a blogger/journalist/wonk in the mix, and yours truly said sure. Our task was to make a large group of pretend journalists look more real when Robin Wright Penn makes a statement to the press following disclosure that her Congressman husband (Ben Affleck) may have been having an affair with a now deceased personal assistant.
