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.

One difference between knee-jerk liberals and knee-jerk conservatives is that the former believe collective society should wear the moral strait-jacket while individuals may go to hell (smoking and overeating excepted), while conservatives believe individuals should wear the strait-jacket while the state and corporations may go to hell. My guess is this "study" (from the usual Ivy-League gang of idiots) is another liberal attempt to justify low personal standards for themselves. Nonetheless chastity pledges are surely worthless without a strong backbone of family and church and school; and for many teens these institutions are all but worthless.
