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.

BOSTON GLOBE SAYS YOU LACK HIGHER BRAIN FUNCTIONS [John Podhoretz]
Check out this delightful sentiment from Boston Globe movie critic Ty Burr: "'Stealth' is a pretty fair military-hardware action movie until you start thinking about it -- at which point it turns incredibly sour in your mouth. I can therefore recommend it to any and all audiences lacking higher brain functions. Sea cucumbers, perhaps. Ones waving American flags."

We're willing to say most MOVIE AD-BLURB COPYWRITERS like Teeny Tiny Ty lack higher brain functions, but we're also willing to say we have our doubts about YOU, John, after you raved that PURPLE-HEART WEARING CON-SER-VA-TIVE PC COMEDY -- ON A CURVE.
