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.

We wonder if Brooksy is turning into a slightly more acidic version of David Gurgle. Don't get us wrong; we too believe SARAH!!!!! is basically an airhead (Brooksy puts it more politely), and we can understand why he likes The Lord; if we were voting for personalities and not on politics He'd win in a landslide, and justly so. Indeed what worries us about The Lord is not Him, but His Acolytes, who in time can be counted to do something STOOPID.

But back to Brooksy. There is a fine line between letting both sides have it and merely being muddled. Too few pundits can navigate it. Brooksy wants to be the honest broker, but we wonder if in time the great perks of being a zillionaire pundit and having all that face time can't dumb him down into a Gurgle muddle. Given he's The Paper of Re-CORD's token conservative the pressures on him must be tremendous. After all, David Gurgle was also a "Republican", albeit of the Mr. Viagra kind, and he was very malleable.
