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.

I am also proposing a mass picket of NBC at 30 Rock for February 20, 2006. That is President's Day, and most of you will have a day off. We can meet at a certain time and a certain place and then proceed to 30 Rock with our signs and our voices. I propose that everyone have a spot of orange somewhere on their bodies so we can identify one another.
We have to show them we mean business and that we are not to be taken lightly. Maybe we can also invite some notable people (aka celebs, politicians and the like) to join us as we walk around 30 Rock. I am serious about this. I'll organize this effort. Are you in?
Yeeeaaarrrggghhhhhh!!
Dr. Dean's acolyte further says "NBC is owned by GE, which is a mammoth defense contractor", which proves how much the Kossacks know. (In FY2005 Humana Inc. did more defense business than GEB&R.)
