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.

FOX'S CHRIS WALLACE DENIES HE'S DAN RATHER'S REPLACEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"All I can say is that Edward R. Murrow and [CBS chairman] Les Moonves should be considered in the same league," Wallace joked Friday to WRKO Boston radio host Howie Carr, sounding as if he was sucking up to the man who has to sign off on Rather's replacement....
A few moments later, however, the Fox host cleared the air. "This is gonna put the final nail in this coffin," he told Carr. "If I become the anchor at the 'CBS Evening News,' you will be Eric Severeid [SIC]; you will be the commentator and analyst for CBS."
Sure you didn't mistake him for SEAN HANNITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?
