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:

"The car was taken, and there was nothing of real value in it. Cars are getting stolen every day," as he said.
P.P.S.
The DIMWITS at the REUT were FOOLISH enough to run this overhead shot. We would not be foolish enough ourselves to guess, and it would certainly depend on when this shot was taken, but we would say it is more than the 2,000 the Freepers bruited -- and less than the 100,000 the GOEBBELSES "REPORTED".
P. S. At 8:00 P. M. ST. WARREN SAYS BETWEEN 150,000 AND 200,000!!!!!
