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.
--JOHN "OMERTA" CARROLL.

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

Here things were going great guns for Mickey D's -- sales WAY up, a chance to spend vastly more money on bad television -- when the CEO shoots himself in the foot for protesting that the word "McJob" made it into a Merriam-Webster dictionary. Hey Jim, what would you call a job that pays minimum wage and whose fringe benefits include getting yelled at by a manager and having McMeals for lunch?

This looks like a job for -- SUPERKUDLOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P. S. Possible SUPERKUDLOW spin: "[M]ore than 1,000 of the men and women who own and operate McDonald's restaurants today got their start by serving customers behind the counter," writes the CEO. More than 1,000 out of how many who've ever worked the Mick? Don't answer that.
