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've been continuing my search for an HDTV set -- I've narrowed it down to three models, all Sonys, and have ditched the thought of analog -- and was more than a little frazzled to learn that on certain Sony models some people insist they can see a faint vertical bar moving across the screen in HD; the company ended up putting out a service bulletin. But as one poster put it, "[I]t is pretty easy to drive yourself crazy looking for little defects."

Which brings me to REV. WILDMON. He could see a beautiful pastoral scene and if he thought he heard the F-word, he'd write to the FCC -- never mind if he was sitting outdoors. Or more to the point, if he'd served on D-Day he'd have brought a whole company before Ike for CURSING.

And as I said, one should not associate COMMON SENSE with REV. WILDMON.

Sorry, TWO WRONGS DON'T MAKE A RIGHT, STERNO. You're just on the other side of the same leaky S. S. MINNOW.
