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.

Cle-VER, SOBs! That freestanding use of the word "report" makes it seem -- impartial. But you don't say WHOSE report! You have to click on the link to find it was an IMPARTIAL FORCE OF DEMOCRATS. But see, this has NOTHING to do with why your circ is down, or why people can't stand your GUTS.
BIAS? WHAT BIAS?
By the way -- HOW'S YOUR @#$%&* PROMO DOING? What news hacks don't SPIN, they SELL.
