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.

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.

The ultra-slim, lustrous metal cell phone introduced in November has created a cachet of cool so strong that it should rub off on the company's entire portfolio of phones, observers say.
Excuse me -- am I supposed to BUY something?
Proof that the news hacks' most in-your-face advertising isn't the ads, it's the filler among the ads.
