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 work ten minutes a day.
I rule the universe.
I'm going to live forever.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 4:

It contains every anti-Semitic trope imaginable - from the darling of the Christianist right.
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!!!!!!!!!! is to the right what FATSO is to the left. And just because an ASS like ANDY S. says it doesn't make it UNTRUE (despite the well-documented "Christianist" rhetorical tantrum gag).
Chances are the bonehead Mel will do community service anyway -- and continue to spout off at Jews, in private, or when drunk.
