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.

Which reminds us, GENERAL JR., what are you going to do about Opie and Anthony? MY guess: he wants to give the Zon the usual ten-grand fine, partly as a political favor (forgetting who's publishing Sen. Rodham's "MEMOIRS", GENERAL JR.?), partly as a rehearsal for a career as a seven-digit suck-up, but if he does that he alienates Dubya's -- CORE, especially the -- CATHOLICS. Between this and giving the store away to Big Media GENERAL JR.'s mental calculator is near meltdown these days.
P. S. Opie and Anthony are "looking for work in television these days." I would say "good luck" with a sneer, but knowing the American Society of Willfully Ignorant Advertisers, they may get it.
