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.

And speaking of "What's good for Time Warner...", David "Platinum" Bianculli (he earns that nickname because when he scribbled for The Philadelphia Inquirer he proclaimed we live in "a platinum age of television" -- TWICE) is shocked! SHOCKED! that his BELOVED Slutsville has been hopelessly and irreparably RUINED. We need a half-million dollar ad-blurb COPYWRITER to inform us what common sense already did: THIS MADE NO SENSE. Either show it unedited or don't show it at all -- and in this case, I vote for the latter.

And as I've noted before, the TWXSTERS are doing this LARGELY OUT OF ACCOUNTING.

P. S. Famous last words:

[T]he idea of sticking up for swear words and flashes of breast may seem like a stupid thing to do.

But if USA OKAY'S painful self-flagellation says anything, it's that YOU NEWS HACKS ALWAYS DO STUPID THINGS.
