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.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 4:
News isn't news when we don't report it.

Yes, products such as Apple's iPod do add to the deficit. But WHO CARES??? NEARLY ALL THE PROFIT FROM THE IPOD, DESIGNED IN CALIFORNIA, MANUFACTURED IN CHINA, ACCRUES IN THE U.S.!!!! Out of Apple's profits come MORE JOBS AND FUTURE HIT PRODUCTS!!!!!
Having recently been on the prowl for memory cards, a seller's market where one card can fit in hundreds of computers and the industry goes out of its way not to tell you (and rakes in HUGE profits when people buy the WRONG CARDS), I can safely say that practically every last computer innard comes from east Asia -- and most are likely designed there. Of course it wouldn't occur to LITTLE MALCOLM'S FEARLESS ASSISTANT that the time may come when the Asians will decide THEY DON'T NEED AMERICAN COMPANIES. Hey Karl! You ever heard of SONY? or LENNY?
