I know more than you.
I make lots more money than you.
I'm smarter than you.
I'm sexier than you.

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.

News isn't news when we don't report it.

Canada's government on Friday condemned a show by NBC's Conan O'Brien that insulted people in French-speaking Quebec and seemed to suggest everyone in the province was homosexual.
OOOOOOOOOOoooooooooh y'oughtn't t'have done it, Conan! EH?
Ottawa and the province of Ontario paid $760,000 to help O'Brien -- who appears on the NBC television network -- bring his show to Toronto for a week....
HARDY HAR HAR!
