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.

In 1962, when Morse was cast as the lead in "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying," he told the producers they should audition Reilly for the role of Rudy Valli's spoiled nephew, Bud Frump.
First off, it was most likely 1961 (that's when the show opened), and second it was Rudy VALLEE, not "Biiiiig girrrrrls do-on't CRY-YI-YI."
Let's hope SLIME brings this high level of jernalistic eksellence to the JOURNALS! Who knows? What with WALTS He might improve it!
