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.

A story like this may explain why the hacks are somewhat playing down the courageous action in Vermont. See, if we don't test armor on something, maybe holy cockroaches and other such types would test it out on humans. Usually the hack's first instinct is to quote the screaming meemies. Strangely we don't see it so much here either even if the hacks covertly take their side. No we don't like it that pigs must die. Humans shouldn't have to make up the difference.

(Or maybe because it's "ho-hum". The exact opposite of a PILLHEAD or a BOB HERBERT!!!!! is a guy obscuring any passion or forthrightness under a fog of cuteness -- the Mike Kinsley way, the GRATE.COM way.)
