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.

And when a liberal paper owned by a circulation-inflating company with substantial interests in the broadcast biz screams CENSORSHIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you know it has its eyes squarely fixed on its BOTTOM LINE.
P. S. We're in this "MESS", STERNO, because your former bosses the TWXSTERS, among others (and with whom you'll have an UNBREAKABLE FEALTY until you die), are members of THE CONSPIRACY, which brought forth JACK'S INEDIBLE DISEASE-SPREADING ALPHABET SOUP, THE TRUE SOURCE OF THIS MESS.
