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.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 4:

Well maybe they do. But you're part of a tiny clique of reverse snobs and gliberals and glibertarians and permanent adolescents who want to tell the rest of America what it can hear on the radio. And while the hayseeds may rely on primitive things like faith and the Bible, you rely on superzillionaire media tyrants. To me it's no contest. The hayseeds win.
If I could challenge this lout the next thing out of his mouth would be, YOU CAN ALWAYS TURN THE RADIO OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To which I'd say, as I've said in a different vein, WHO CAN TURN RADIO OFF?!?!?
It'll be a while before I surf STERNO's site again. He's getting as off his rocker on bad dirty jokes as ANDY S. is about gay marriage.
