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.

REVEALING SHOTS SPARK INTERNATIONAL OUTCRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whiny Crybaby Richard said L'AFFAIRE DE TOILETTE was not evidence of anti-war bias. Well heds like this are evidence of something. NEWS HACKS may defend themselves by saying they're showing up our bad side so we can improve our good side, blahblahblah, but all we ever see from the HACKS is our bad side; indeed the only time they smile is when they puff their OWN BIZ, as with BOX-OFFICE "RECORDS." Shut up HACKS, we know you can't stand OUR GUTS, even as you work mightily with accountants to evade OUR TAXES.
P. S. That INTERNATIONAL OUTCRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! is to USAOKAY!!!!! what scandal is to the SUPERDUPERMEGAGIGABLOGGER -- it will be gone the next day.
