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.

Wal-Mart has become a political football. To the right it is the savior of mankind (and enables them to chuckle at all the menial retards who can't advance within the company); to the left it's a force of undiluted EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVIL and an excuse for endless posturing. A company of its girth makes a convenient target; nonetheless Wal-Mart has no one to blame for its mess but itself; by being the GM of retailing and doing GM-like things (like destroying thousands of small businesses and towns, much as GM bulldozed public transit) it has richly earned its scorn, but for reasons knee-jerks of either stripe could never understand.

One good thing: the more it turns to consultants and PR types the more it screws itself up.
