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.

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.

published a story containing certain comments attributed to a Mattel executive
during an interview at the American International Toy Fair in New York. The
story indicated that, in the context of discussing certain new toys being
shown at the Toy Fair, the executive made sales projections related to the
Barbie(R) brand. As the company has previously indicated, it is Mattel policy
not to provide sales or earnings guidance. The company encourages investors
not to rely on the information contained in the story.
You don't think that stunt involving CURLEY'S (Nyuk! Nyuk! Nyuk!) STOOGES had anything to do with this, do you? NAH.
