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:

Gee we're almost outta time and I gotta tellya my back's been hurting me and surgery didn't work so I got addicted to painkilling drugs so I'm going on detox we'll have nice guest hosts the next month no calls I don't do interviews BYE!
One of my fellow workers has been out several days with a back problem, so I know the Hobson's choice between surgery and drugs; BUT you were high all the while you lectured America about druggies, AND you make $5 billion a year bloviating, so forgive me Rush, I DON'T FEEL SORRY FOR YOU.
One irritating consequence of this story is knee-jerk liberals will chortle -- because RUSH IS CONSERVATIVE. Sorry liberals, YOU'RE JUST AS BAD -- IN THE SAME WAY.
