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:

...and NOW we have these LOONY LEFTISTS the QUAKERS trying to tell America's CEOs how much they should make! Time to raise the RED FLAG as we go SOCIALIST, friends -- and the WHITE FLAG OF SURRENDER as we destroy our FREE-ENTERPRISE SYSTEM!!!!!!!!!!
It is very unfortunate that most of those raising a stink over CEO pay seem to be left of center, but that says con-SER-va-tives grew so smug over time with their GREENSPAN MONEY-MAKING MACHINE as to lose all sense of perspective. For this and other reasons con-SER-va-tive complaints about The One do not resonate, however valid.
