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 only discovered this piece because JONAH found it six days late, but I'd like to know of ANY American news organization that has done a fraction of the probing into North Korea RUPERT!!!!!!!!!'s Times has done. (For once you do good, RUPE!!!!!) While the IDIOT NEWS HACKS sell us the SECOND COMING and the MONEYCHANGERS at the TEMPLE of FOOTBALL, and bask in the DRIVEL-POWERED INFUSION OF CASH, some reporters took a risk to get the inside story in one of the most brutal dictatorships man has ever known. The NEUHARTHS who run the damfool trade these days should be ASHAMED of themselves.

As for the story's crux, North Korea's days are numbered, however fierce its oppression. It says something when North Koreans must consider China a beacon of freedom. It says something too that the Northerners are finding ways out through the offices of Christians.
