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:

DID YOU KNOW? [Barbara Comstock]
For the 15th year, Rush Limbaugh is doing his annual Cure-athon to benefit The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Rush has raised over $14 million over the years -- never hear about that from the Drive by Media [SIC] do you? You can click here and make a donation.

I'm sure it's a good cause, but 1. We always make fun of show-biz types for their causes, but somehow Mr. Motormouth is exempt; 2. Rush has raised less money with his charity in fifteen years than he makes in ONE; and 3. He popped pills while hectoring the universe on the evil of drugs.
You any relation to AMERICA'S NO. 1 SOUTH PARK FAN? You sound it.
P. S. In further righteous anger from a BLOGGING TYCOON:
What transparent garbage. Here's how Reuters describes Rush:
Under the deal the 55-year-old Limbaugh, best known as a brash and often moralistic talk show host, will see the case against him dropped in 18 months, his attorney said.
Rush Limbaugh actually is known now, and will be 100 years from now, as the most innovative and successful radio talk show host in history, the most powerful brand on air from 1990 forward, and blahblahblah....
I'd be careful with that transparent garbage gag. People in GLASS HOUSES may not live a hundred years.
