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 reason the mythos must be maintained that “for the church to survive it must modernize,” despite the obvious fact that the opposite is true, is because of the liberals’ belief that whatever is happening among lesser people than themselves does not really count. Humanity is defined by its perfection, not Christ as the Christian masses have always believed in him, but the Enlightened Person, and Jesus of Nazareth only so far as his opinions can be construed as intelligent by current liberal standards.
Simple Christians have a name for the Enlightened Person and his religion: Antichrist. Let us make no mistake. Those who have the consummate nerve on the death of the pope to tell the Christians for whom he stood what they (and the next pope) should believe and do, in defiance of his teaching and the whole Christian tradition, have, to say the least, no standing among us. If the next pope agrees with the pontificators, he's not catholic.
