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.

Speaking of LALA, one of the salient features of modern American unreporting is its obsession with turning every molehill into a mountain, especially under the guise of breaking win -- wisdom that should remain unbroken. Tim Rut is extremely exercised not only because those huge cable wastes of air time dealing in "news" are partisan, God Forbid, but worse, because Lou "The Formerly CEO-Fanny-Kissing Populist" Dobbs may RUN FOR PRESIDENT!!!!! To take a bromide, however weakly steeped in the truth, and turn it into the acme of bloviation is achievement enough; but to suggest this fraud is serious is worse than outrageous because The Crusading Lou's audience is so small -- smaller than the vote counts many of these legitimate presidential candidates have earned in elections. But that will not prevent us from stinking up a room with our keyboard and getting a videoholic megalomaniac into the race under the guise of MAKING A POINT.

SHUT UP, TIM RUT.
