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.

I know he merely acts as a platform for Blogads, but is it so wise for a law professor to be endorsing what after all is trademark infringement? This isn't an obvious parody of a trademark that one might excuse on satiric grounds, this is a flat out expropriation of someone's intellectual property. I have no brief for PepsiCo (with its PROUD MEMBERSHIP in the AMERICAN SOCIETY OF WILLFULLY IGNORANT ADVERTISERS and once-financing of HEZBOLLAH TV I've heaped it with SCORN) nor animus for the GOP, but if stealing music is a crime so is stealing a trademark. And this, sad to say, IS stealing, and what's more, stealing for PROFIT.
