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:

And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 4:
News isn't news when we don't report it.

NEWS HACKS think by campaigning for DIPPITY-DO this way they exercise REAL POWER. Problem is, as time goes on and NEWS HACKS SCREAM to no end, many will tune this story out, which does no one -- the innocents, the abusers, ANYBODY -- any good. And let us not forget, the SUMMER SILLY SEASON now lasts ALL YEAR.
