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.

“I hope I’m wrong, but I don’t have a lot of confidence in today’s environment that we can emerge from bankruptcy,” the company’s chief executive and chairman, Robert L. Nardelli, said in an interview.
MAKE UP YOUR MIND!
P. S. Now I suppose someone could say Bob's not being contradictory; he's saying Chrysler could survive without bankruptcy and Fiat. But such statements must make one wonder if he knows.
