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.

Unfortunately jerks have a way of getting business magazines to call them LEGENDARY.
GE BANCORP still over 82 PERCENT off its all-time shady-finance-inflated high.
P. S.
You can be sure that this summer there will be a new song on the radio that is so catchy and fun you can't get it out of your head.
One of the first things LEGENDARY did after He bought RCA (RCA what?) was to sell its records unit. The following year He sold NBC's radio network and stations. I don't want to guess LEGENDARY's musical tastes (aside from the sound of His voice, that is).
You can be completely and absolutely sure that the first hotdog you eat at the ballpark on Opening Day is going to be as good as it gets, and the second one won't be bad either.
WILL YOU BUY THE @#$%&* SOX ALREADY?
