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.
--JOHN "OMERTA" CARROLL.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 4:
News isn't news when we don't report it.

In some other world, Japan's prime minister would be laughed out of office. But let us take him seriously -- he foresees a "$200 billion to $300 billion market" for anime. To that end he's spending $120 million in stimulus money for a "National Comprehensive Centre for Media Art". If we take our top ten media tyrannies, with operations worldwide, their revenues scarcely approach $300 billion. This buffoon thinks he can build TEN PEOPLE WARNERS or EIGHT ESPNCORPS with funny looking characters with big faces, huge eyes, tiny pug noses, and pinch-hole lips. Most likely he will get away with it because government is a synonym for incompetence.

Asō has faced low approval poll numbers almost since his ascension to Japan’s highest post last September.

Even an anime site knows better.
