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.

DOW UP 2,000!!!!!!!!!!
Alcoa’s results were “A POSITIVE START TO THE EARNINGS SEASON!” said John Stephenson, who helps manage C$1.5 billion ($1.4 billion) including Alcoa shares at First Asset Investment Management in Toronto.
“IT'S GREAT TO SEE!” Stephenson said in an interview after the results were announced. “YOU DON'T SEE MANY TIMES WHERE PEOPLE BLOW AWAY THE NUMBERS TO THIS DEGREE!!!!!” (Huffing puffing overemphasis added)
If these assorted sales...ANALYSTS and other touts would just blow -- then the Dow wouldn't be up 10,000 points by Christmas.
