Rule number 2 seems to be especially pertinent to news articles about health
physics:

 

"2. Be balanced. No matter what anybody says, find somebody to say the
opposite. If a scientist claims to have a cure for cancer, find somebody who
says cancer does not exist. If a man says "My name is Fred," make sure you
find somebody who says "No, your name is Diane." Etc."

 

Humor is funniest when it contains elements of truth.
