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.

This is currently the most widely e-mailed story from PAPEROFRE-CORD.COM.
I suspect it would not have made the Top 25 BEFORE.
Oh well, that's what happens when LIBERALS GET GREEDY.
JOKE OF THE DAY:
NYTNS has approximately 650 clients worldwide, although many are not affected by the ramifications of the new paid wall. Those not affected include clients that publish NYTNS content in languages other than English, and English-language clients that buy a version of the news service that doesn't include Times columns.
In short, it may now be possible to read PAPER OF RE-CORD colyumnists using G000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000GLE's translator function, which means THEY'LL REALLY SOUND STUPID.
