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:
News isn't news when we don't report it.

Here's Nathan Lee on the new "Texas" flick: "THE MOVIE EXISTS TO BRUTALIZE!!!!! LIKE 'THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST,' IT IS AN INVITATION TO HARD-CORE SADISM!!!!!!!!!!" [Overemphasis added]
SIX OF ONE. I don't see ANY difference between these two masterworks because they BOTH worship VIOLENT DEATH. Ironically this CON-SER-VA-TIVE attitude that we must NOT criticize ANYTHING CHRISTIAN has an unnerving parallel to the LIBERAL belief that we must NOT CRITICIZE ANYTHING MUSLIM.
It is bad enough that I get less than ten hits a day. It is worse that in order to write a blog for a non-existent audience I have to work myself up over IDIOTS of BOTH SIDES who've had their MIDDLE FINGERS SURGICALLY FUSED UP. It's as if the WHOLE WORLD's ruled by LOUDMOUTHS who must take every last cue from two men whose names begin with the ALL-TOO-SYMBOLIC O.
