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.

When did you stop watching "The Daily Show"?
This week.
It was once your favorite TV show, wasn't it?
Yes.
IN THE COMMENTS: I explain my reason for drawing the line now:
This week's show, the first post-Katrina coverage, has been just blatantly telegraphing from the very first moment that the whole point of the show is to slam Bush....
TRANSLATION: IT WAS ALMOST AS GREAT AN ACHIEVEMENT IN WORLD ART AND CULTURE AS YOU-KNOW-WHAT -- UNTIL IT SLAMMED BUSH.
WAS IT EVER ANY GOOD?????
P. S. THE PROFESSOR found this, which means he's a KNEE-JERK TOO.
