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.

I know NEWS HACKS PINCH themselves when they type such idle verbiage, but a story like this is supremely depressing and irritating because 1.) We're stuck with this GENIUS, 2.) NEWS HACKS are foursquare behind this GENIUS so we're stuck with NEWS HACKS calling this GENIUS, 3.) We're stuck with NEWS HACKS trotting out the same blankety-blank PERFESSERS of the B. S. THOMPSON STRIPE who call this GENIUS so the NEWS HACKS can call this GENIUS, 4.) So long as the MEDIA-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX puts out nothing but this GENIUS WE WON'T DO BETTER.

And (C)RAP (I know scribbler, we are NOT supposed to call it THAT) is an analogue of BLOGGING as both drone on and on and on, and are richly disposable.
