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.

That's not to say there aren't problems. MySpace employs a staff of about 12 who do nothing but look at all 1.5 million images uploaded each day for inappropriate photos, including pornography. Advertisers are sensitive about the content their brands appear with, DeWolfe says. Despite their efforts, some illicit images still get through [SIC]
We wonder why the RUPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! is so touchy about inappropriate photos given that the reverse Robin Hoods of MADAVE can't control their joyous compulsion to finance anything and everything of His. P. S. This has to be one of the worst jobs in the Web.
P. S. This puff piece happily doesn't mention that sensational murder either. A NEUHARTHISM OF THE WEEK AWARD TO MATT!
