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.

P. S. at 5:33 p. m. America's "bankers" issue a statement:
Credit cards provide access to credit for millions of Americans and small businesses every day. Making this credit available is a very risky business and the committee’s action today will unfortunately make it harder -- not easier -- for banks to continue doing so.
Credit card lenders of all sizes will likely have to pull back on providing reasonably priced credit to a wide range of consumers and small businesses. It is hard to see how that makes good policy sense.
TRANSLATION: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! We'll get back at you customers!!!!!
Also, one Democrat voted against. Still annoying.
