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.

News isn't news when we don't report it.

Yankee Alex Rodriguez booed loudly at first spring training at-bat
Another supremely profitable year for SELIGISM!
P. S. at 2:32 p. m.
2:00 p.m.: And Alex Rodriguez just went deep. He launched a 2-and-2 pitch off Ricky Romero to left center field, a two-run shot to give the Yankees a 3-1 lead in the fourth after Robinson Cano got on to start the inning when he was hit in the bill of his batting helmet. He was cheered as he rounded the bases.
Fan outrage can be mighty fickle.
