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.

As regards the military aspects, the Zionist regime has just bombarded Lebanon and carried out several ground operations, but in return it has not only gained zilch, but also sustained the following losses and casualties:
- Destruction of 47 Mircava tanks
- Crash of 2 helicopters
- Destruction of 6 bulldozers
- Destruction of 2 Saer battle ships
- Crash of 2 fighters
- Destruction of 12 military and armor vehicles
- Crash of a surveillance plane and 2 surveillance balloons
- Killing of 226 Israeli militaries
- Injury of 491 Israeli militaries
- Killing of 57 Zionists
- Injury of 404 Zionists
Following 5311 sortie of flights and three-time bombardment of each Lebanese target, the Israeli army has not succeeded in damaging Hezbollah's defense capabilities and missile launching systems. Instead, the Israelis have been experiencing an increase in the number and range of Hezbollah rockets in the last 48 hours.
Meantime, Hezbollah, which lack a classic army and advanced military equipment in confronting the world's 6th largest army, has launched 3465 rockets towards Israel which have not only caused psychological insecurity for the Zionists, but also brought about superiority for the Shiite group and Hezbollah has now taken the initiative in the battle ground.
During the last 24 days, Israel has martyred 43 Hezbollah troops and wounded 141 more. It has also martyred 967 Lebanese civilians and wounded 3293 others.
Yes, it does sound as if somebody's been reporting for Al Reut.
