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.

TRANSLATION: ER's adding more bells and whistles, and with any luck the site will be so noisy with bells and whistles you won't hear the content.
Look at it this way, Gawk: when PEOPLE NEWSRAG folds it'll save a few forests.
P. S. I would like to know why I'm not as good as these TWXSTER millionaires. If I churned out as much CW as they I should have negative hits.
