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.

Or as Google translated it: "A noise runs in the newspaper offices: ARAFAT WOULD HAVE DIED!!!! News to be taken with conditional...." AND: "The news of its death is still not confirmed." I love you, GOOGLE! (As to you, little, I'm not sure yet.)
(By the way little, you run all these gruesome stories about suicide bombings and the perfidy of Islam, but you also use those, uh, whimsical little heads. Isn't there a, uh, disconnect here?)
P. S. I regret to say I had to uninstall Alexa's toolbar. It was slowing down my computers.
