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.

And seeing MS. TRAVERS's name I had to skim through the SUPERDUPERMEGAGIGABLOGGERS and found for the most part they're upholding their CW as usual. Hugh, for instance, bombasts in thousands of words that the Seattle shooting was an ACT OF TERRORISM!!!!!!!!!! The problem is the line separating terrorism and hate crimes (I hate that term -- it's straight out of Orwell) is a fine one, and this shootist may have been inspired as much by mental illness as anything else -- though a healthy dose of Islamism helped. Indeed because the man appears to have been a loner (the classic diagnosis for such crimes) does NOT mean the hacks are PC in covering it, although God knows they often are. Perhaps this is terrorism in HUGH's highly refined sense of the term; let's just call it another senseless, evil shooting, and be done with it.

A few post down he fumes about bird flu being ignored. Maybe it's being ignored because it hasn't turned into the pandemic HUGHS SCREAMED it would be. I think I'm better off ignoring these bloviators.
