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.

R. EMMETT goes into FULL GLIBERTARIAN MODE over VIDEO GAMES. He suggests we not ban the games but instead go after the "root causes" of juvenile psychopathy. Wait! Isn't this the same sort of con-SER-va-tive who made raucous fun of LIBERALS when they suggested we go after the ROOT CAUSES of TERRORISM because "terrorists are depraved on accounta they're deprived"? This is a thoroughly disingenous argument because R. knows the causes of violent youth crime are largely beyond our control; happily this gives us an excuse not to even "prune the branches."

Honestly R., between this and your REAGAN gags you CAN be annoying.

P. S. I know, I KNOW, R. didn't WRITE it, but as with THE PAPER OF RE-CORD I see no difference between the people who run the joint and those who write in its name.
