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.

I certainly wouldn't expect this from Zeitgeist.com, not from JonBoy, definitely not from America's Top PR Man Devin, but there is something to the piece. No, I don't want to see Neda die either. And icons can be deceiving. Look at the Napalm Girl (mentioned here), whom hacks of a certain age conjure every night in their sleep. Their P-Ulitzer-winning victory over our side in Vietnam led to hundreds of thousands of non-napalm dead. Already people may think of Neda's death as just another videogame. That may serve the holy cockroaches. We know well enough from THE CONSPIRACY what happens when people get shot. Yes, there's something pornographic about this obsession with making her an episode of CSI. At the risk of conjuring a Congressional cliché, let us not remember how Neda died, but how she lived.
