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.

WILL SOMEBODY TELL HIM ST. WARREN MAKES A GOODLY CHUNK OF HIS MONEY FROM THIS COMPANY OFF SATs? THAT should say something of its USEFULNESS.

News Sources People Use Most Often
Survey Question: Which (news) sources are you using more often?
Pew Research Center for the People and the Press, ’’Media Attitudes/ Youth Engagement/ Religion After 9/11’’ Nov. 13 - 19, 2001 [That's what it says there.]
I admit the chart sort-of cheats but the gist is understandable.
P. S. MR. MARK, does this explain all those funny-looking brass elephants you have on your desk?
P. P. S. In the last three years BLUNDER claims to have won 231 AWARDS, which pretty well indicates how useful THEY are.
