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.

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.

Can Europe Rescue Media Biz, And If So, Can the U.S. Do So, Too?
Okay everybody! Sing along with me! A-ONE and a-TWO and a....
3. Some store chains are ditching brands. Okay, free-enterprise believers, how much more do we pay for the lack of competition?
Oh, it's because the suppliers are taking more profits than the chains. Well you know the old saw, "To the victors".... But why must we customers be the vanquished?
4. Another mighty moment in the public-relations biz:
[T]he PR push has come off as another attempt of trying to convince outraged fans of why the BCS is right and they're wrong.
But isn't that the whole point of PR? And would anyone who wants to listen to the public have hired ARI FLEISCHER?
Nothing on you-know-who. He's safe.
