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.

Early Wednesday morning (August 11), a recording studio in Burbank, California where the Black Eyed Peas were recording songs for their next album caught fire. The group had lit candles to set the mood while recording, but left to take a break.
According to published reports, the blaze started around 3 a.m. and caused $550,000 in damages to Glenwood Place Studios. "There were candles in the recording studio that caused a fire while taking a break," said Burbank Fire Marshal Dave Starr."
But not to despair:
The Black Eyed Peas are expected to be back in the studio recording as early as this week.
