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.
--JOHN "OMERTA" CARROLL.

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

Some low-life Israeli publication (and if anyone should be admonished for this, it's an ISRAELI publication) has run something along the lines of those infamous faked photos of Bernarr MacFadden's in the old New York Graphic showing "damage" to the left wing of the space shuttle.

First off, morons, it wouldn't be that obvious, second, there's an unlikely doohickey sticking from the "wing," and third, I believe the investigators are looking at damage on the ship's underside, which was almost totally black.

A more complete explanation is here.
