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.

Bentley, meanwhile, is offering 0.9% financing on the Bentley Continental GT luxury coupe, which starts at about $180,000, said Edmunds.com auto analyst Jessica Caldwell.
"I've seen low APRs before, but 0.9% for Bentley -- that's more like what Chevy offers," Caldwell said.
And it's made by Volkswagen!
