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.

These clowns don't merely get on my nerves, they stomp on them. NRO CON-SER-VA-TIVES are cultural liberals. There's no distinguishing them and the GLIBERAL, or any conventional ad-blurb copywriter. They can be PC too, only more SMOOTHLY. Indeed one suspects many are con-SER-va-tives only insofar as it can take them, and they have too many connections. I forlornly look for a conservative with principles, not a Jonah, not a Tucker, not a Brooksy, who stands for something other than making as much money as possible (I would say getting laid as often as possible, but they may be a little old for that). As I've had to say too many times, there's no difference between con-SER-va-tive glibness and LIBERAL.
