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.

With lots of primping and preening, one of the typically pink-hued-heavily-corrective-lensed types what revues architecture -- in this case for The Newsrag of the Zeitgeist -- ooohs and aaahs over this masterpiece by MR. STARCHITECT, the man who bequeathed leaky roofs to MIT. Oddly enough this is corporate headquarters for IAC -- the company BARRY DILLER!!!!! (formerly known as Jesus Christ) is breaking up. No note of that anywhere, but then this is just a newsrag, and they don't have to know these things. In fact it's better starchitect revuers don't know them, that way it won't detract from their raves.
Which comes first -- Barry's firing from his new improved firm or the first leak?
P. S.
"MIT IS AFTER OUR INSURANCE!!!!!!!!!!" [Visually arresting overemphasis added]
Look at it this way, Je -- Barry: you'll get more income for your firm.

The godfather of starchitect revuers busy raving a new piece of construction.
