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.

According to her interview in Pinup magazine, Tina sometimes had a playful attitude about her sexy image when she ws a castaway. "In one episode Tina was to take a shower in a makeshift stall....[S]ince the bamboo shower door would hide her from the shoulders down and wouldn't show anything but her head, shoulders, legs and feet, Tina announced she would be shooting this scene in the nude. Word got around the set and by the time they were ready to shoot the scene the catwalks [!] above the set were filled with electricians, carpenters, and every grip that suddenly felt they had a job to do aboe the infamous shower scene. Tina arrived in a sarong-type bathing suit and entered the shower never looking up at the gawking men.
"While some 45 workers gazed down, Tina removed her bathing suit only to reveal another bathing suit underneath."
They don't make sex symbols like that anymore.
