THE NEWS HACK'S CREED:
I know more than you.
I make lots more money than you.
I'm smarter than you.
I'm sexier than you.
I appear on TV all the time.
I work ten minutes a day.
I rule the universe.
I'm going to live forever.
You are an idiot.
THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 2:
A lie isn't a lie when it tells THE TRUTH.
THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 3:
I've come to realize that the looseness of the journalistic life, the seeming laxity of the newsroom, is an illusion. Yes, there's informality and there's humor, but beneath the surface lies something deadly serious. It is a code. Sometimes the code is not even written down, but it is deeply believed in. And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 4:
News isn't news when we don't report it.

I don't know what side the Netherlands is taking on the Iraq dispute, but I think we can be sure what side the British are on.
But like the good members of ASWIA that they are, you can bet the American Lipton execs in Jersey don't have a CLUE.
Will news hacks report on this story? Do toasters fly?
One thing's clear: if the die-hard country fans know about this, and they turn out to see the Chicks, get ready for a lot of unmusical noises.
P. S. The Netherlands is supporting us too. That's more than we can say for Lipton Tea.
P.P.S. The Chicks record for Sony. Japan supports us too.
Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....
