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.

And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.

"She is a conservative, and she would be acceptable," Miranda said. "But she doesn't have a clear record on a number of issues, and has caused some concerns on religious liberty issues."
