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.

ARCHDaily teaches us if anything today's cars could get uglier in the cockamamie notion that quirkiness equals character. Imagine FRANK GEHRY designing a car. (!!!!!!!!!!) No, the last '58 Caddy rolled off the assembly line about fifty-one years ago.
Oh and folks, let's stop citing Harley Earl. If he were alive today you'd call his cars vulgar -- which, let's face it, many did.
