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.

Well I'm glad it's over, though they must be on a crying jag to end all crying jags at the cable "news" time-fillers. Don't worry, you'll manufacture something else down the line. As for this stunt that never ended, I can't say I'm surprised. Fatty Arbuckle taught us a celebrity trial can be a persecution. It is hard to say, however, that a man with a piece of plastic sticking out where his nose was and skin as mottled as a cow was being persecuted. Some of the hacks may try to pull a New Nixon for him, remembering what's good for Time Warner...but to the tone-deaf "music" fans he may as well have been born B. C. Besides, being acquitted is not the same as being absolved.

Now on to something more edifying -- like the continuing "career" of RUPERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'s girlfriend.
