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 see the Senior Clunker Brother may ditch Pontiac and Saturn. As we said before, having five divisions make the same car may have been good marketing for 1958 but surely it was absurd even then. We further note Buick seems off the table, if so rather shrewd given its relative aura of quality and some of Pontiac's big hits like the Aztek. Face it, Pontiac is still the marque of the Firebird, which was merely its Camaro, which was a very sporty low-riding version of the Chevy Vega. Saturn is another and more melancholy thing: Clunker launched it as a "whole new car company" and merely created a second Oldsmobile. As for Saab -- what would prompt Clunker top buy a third-rate automaker that was destined to stay there?
