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.

NEWSMAX shows yet again why a press dominated by hard-core knee-jerk conservative NEWS HACKS would be just as bad as a press dominated by hard-core knee-jerk liberal NEWS HACKS, if in a slightly different way. CLEARLY these idiots are saying that the French intentionally and malevolently let THE TERRORISTS know, almost personally, that they were targeted; and while I wouldn't put anything past the French, there's no evidence yet the premature news was the result of anything other than excessive zeal on someone's part. AND THERE'S NOTHING IN THE IDIOTS' OWN WASHINGTON TIMES-DERIVED STORY TO REFUTE THAT. This is the moral equivalent of WALTER WINCHELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! getting on the phone with an EisnerCorp guy -- a cheap way of pumping your constituents.
HEY WALTER!!!!! BUY NEWSMAX!!!!! It would be THE DEAL OF THE CENTURY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
