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.

Well, David "300" Bauder of the ASSPress says he's bigger and BETTER THAN EVER! (Keep in mind that any article quoting the PUBLISHER OF TALKERS!!!!! is an advertorial.)
Wall Street says his employer's worth SIXTEEN CENTS A SHARE -- down OVER NINETY-THREE PERCENT from when it hired him.
And he's down sharply elsewhere on Wall Street too.
And if David Axelrod hasn't been on with that soused louse, he should be.
And judging from Ol' Sloshing Brine's word cloud of January 14 he isn't attracting JEFF MENSA-MAN GREENFIELDS the way he used to -- and no, Putrid Pickle-Brain, you DON'T have to tell us who's NO. 1. (Odd words here: "Russert", "time" [SIC!!!!!], "Godzilla" and "WHITE.")
But here's one from February 9:
Somebody trying to take over your SHOW, LIQUOR LUNATIC?
And from last Friday, our PICTURE OF THE DAY:
STILL SIXTEEN CENTS A SHARE, ROTGUT REEK.
