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:
News isn't news when we don't report it.

Typical NEWS-HACK BRAINLESSNESS:
Kennedy’s long record of liberal advocacy and his involvement in the 1969 Chappaquiddick incident that resulted in the death of Mary Jo Kopechne, has [SIC] made him the villain of conservatives for four decades.
Let's REWORD THAT:
Kennedy’s involvement in the 1969 Chappaquiddick incident that resulted in the death of Mary Jo Kopechne has made him the villain of conservatives for four decades.
OR, an innocent woman's death is POLITICS. Proof most newshackery undergoes VIRTUALLY NO EDITING. And these jackasses wonder why their reps are below the used car pusher's?
P. S. DEFINITION ONE OF "LEGENDARY" IN THE NEWS HACKS' DICTIONARY:
Somebody who's been around a long time whom we like.
