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 new agreement with Stanford is the result of months of negotiations since the staging of the inaugural Super Series in October. It is thought the next contract is worth a fraction of the $100 million deal that was trumpeted by the Texan landing his helicopter on the Nursery Ground at Lord’s.
Hmmmm, I wonder why?
Those who oppose Stanford’s involvement with English cricket may well wonder why the Board have simply not walked away from dealing with him again. But Stanford’s money is an attractive carrot in a recession and in three years’ time the worldwide economy may have improved and he could turn out to be a generous benefactor again.
Or he could be in jail, whichever comes first.
P. S. at 3:22 p. m. Shucks, I guess he won't be sponsoring crrrrrricket anymore.
P. S. at 3:27 p. m. BUT THERE WILL BE GOLF IN MEMPHIS!!!!! (Via Seeking Alpha)
