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.

Look at it this way, George. You get to KEEP more of your millions. You may need them for all the meds.
P. S. The Freepers are attempting mass suicide. They should remember that most of the soft money that supports their favorites goes to -- where? Robin Hood, to distribute to the rich? Does it turn into clouds that deliver the rain that waters the trees that grow money? IT GOES TO BROADCASTERS, who then use the money to finance (among other things) THE UNHOLY NEWS DIVISIONS AND THAT TRIUMVIRATE OF LIES, DAN, TOM AND PEE-TAH. They should remember THAT before they seek out psychiatrists.
