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.
--JOHN "OMERTA" CARROLL.

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

The dimwits at Sinclair Broadcasting slanted the news overtly. We see no difference between this and slanting the news covertly. They're just doing what BLOWHARDS like the AMBASSADOR did. If there's one constant to the history of the news biz, it's that as it's progressively tilted left, the slanting has acquired more finesse.

Although we wonder if the left is starting to slant the news overtly as well, as is indicated here. (It helps that we quote Perfesser Crispy-Crunchy, a John Bircher of the left.) If there's one thing left-wing HACKS and right-wing HACKS share it's a CONTEMPT for their AUDIENCE.

SI really ought to stick to His fashion-plate airheads.
