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.

[Righteous overemphasis added]
Because, Michelle, for every brave and noble investigative reporter disclosing the dubious use of SUPERSCRIPTS and PHOTOSHOP, MILLIONS are boasting of their private lives and sex lives and criminal lives, and making asses of themselves in the process, and confirming their uselessness. Sorry, we're not all brave men like CHARLES JOHNSON.
You had a chance to sue GAWKER for LIBEL. You WIMPED OUT. Shut up, Michelle, and make more millions.
