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.

A thought: what if this goes against the grain of thinking and proves a GOP dirty trick? If there's one thing to the post 9-11 world it's that anything can happen, the screwier the more likely. And enough people (especially in the pajama party) are so thoroughly convinced it was a liberal or Democrat, just as Danno is so thoroughly convinced the documents are real, that they're setting themselves up for a big gotcha. News hacks would be dancing on air for months. Such a possibility seems unlikely given the evidence to date (mostly from MS Word and Photoshop) and Danno's blazing liberal partisanship, but consider the old saying, I don't care if he's an SOB so long as he's my SOB. On the other hand, I must bring up Don Keough's line about New Coke; whoever did this is not that dumb and not that smart.

Well, not that smart, anyway.

I think I can see why STERNO's mad. But he ditched his boat when he pledged his allegiance to YAHWEH -- the man who created SIXTY MINUTES THE SECOND.
