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.

WELL, the Osama Channel is in many ways a fraud too. Hate mongering disguised as NEWS counts as FRAUD in my book. Maybe the CIA and MOSSAD set it up to DEFAME ARABS. It certainly does an EXCELLENT job of it. Think that's a possibility, SMALLman? Do your paychecks have an EAGLE on them -- or the SIX-POINTED STAR?
Perhaps we should also look into your chief sponsor, CATARRH AIRWAYS. That might be an FBI FRONT.
Far be it from me to disillusion you but I don't think it was a fake,
FRAUDS.
