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.

Well, DA POST!!!!!.com is working (just had to change the bookmark), and while they still haven't fixed what's wrong with it SLIME's boys have come up with a juicy story about all these zillionaires whose luxury suites at CITIfield filled with mold.
Who says there isn't justice?

DA POST!!!!! has fixed its site, and just like the last several times it did it, it's broke.
And pray tell where have the hacks been on this? Here Europe has unevened the playing field in aviation and only the business-news typists seem interested. Would Airbus have survived but for a continent out to artificially prove it could be America too?
Just as there is something nauseatingly knee-jerk liberal in defending Van Jones and his prejudices, so there must be something nauseatingly knee-jerk con-SER-va-tive to the notion of murdering a tenant to make money.
Also in our You-Make-Us-Tired department Zeitgeist ponders cheerleading. We spend too much time before a blasted computer and wish we could be out among the crowds but just because millions are interested in something doesn't make it important. We've mentioned before the Supermanning of America, which counts the obsessive professionalizing of amateur pursuits; and the vast insane explosion of media time to fill and the Web's groping tentacles have created fan clubs for everything. Once we could enjoy things simply; now even the slightest hobby is part of an infernal machine and becomes a trend. We feel quark-sized on the best of days. Can't men ogle women without any significance? And why must everything be embellished with a thousand piles of whipped cream and five hundred cherries?
If the hacks must spend so much space on a telegenic domestic dispute, fine. But how many of them understand what's going on with health care? I suspect the ASSPress is pouring more reporting resources into this than it did the persecution of Van Jones. Why do these clowns even bother with excuses anymore?

Our old friend ST. WARREN, JR. -- you know, the guy who runs those dollar stores called Sears and Kmart into the ground and who still thinks he'll make a fortune on the real estate because the Big C crowd and BizWeek scribblers told him so -- well, in a rare show of courage from the bizpress, SLIME let JR. have it. So what did JR. do? He wrote a rip-roaring letter back saying in so many words he has the right to run dollar stores any old way he pleases! (Link only to letters section.) Now if only we could find a few Gekko Kudlows to hum along....
P. S. We see Bob, who wrote that reportorial infatuation for JR. (we could use stronger words), is still at BizWeek, which seems strange given the ardor of his devotion. But it was "a Loeb Award finalist"! (for what?!?), meaning an awful lot more people than we thought share the blame for last year's financial-news meltdown, and some of them hand out too many awards. He's now doing "investigative stories involving consumer credit, the medical industry, high finance, and government spending." The money is safe.
Who won?

How strange that the same triumphalist news org of CURLEY (Nyuk! Nyuk! Nyuk!) that celebrated the picture of the mortally wounded soldier won't tell us what poor Van said. Well, we know what he said. It is the plural of a compound word of what Van is and where our country will be if we keep listening to people like him of any political stripe.
As for Van, we did not believe he'd get fired. That a man of the left can be fired for telling TRUTHS hints we can yet save ourselves from that place we're headed if we keep rewarding people like him.
And GLENN, I wouldn't congratulate yourself too hard, either. Even this guy was beyond the pale.
I said the interns would get His Omnipotence in trouble*, and while Van was not an intern he and the dimwits who chose him are surely honorary interns.
Or to put it another way: Sorry, Kaplan, Inc., MACACA can cut both ways.
*And I could point to the specific quote if G000,000,000,000,000,000GLE weren't so busy making money.

And our jerry-built system of news is so inefficient that we can only learn of worthy pieces second- or third-hand. Thus one of EM's typists alerted us to this true blossom of scholarship from Prof. Krugman, a man not often known for humility or sense. We know nothing of economics but this article says in so many words the whizzes of numbers failed because they were too prone to rigid ideology of one kind or another, and their ideology doomed us to what people refuse to call a depression, and it is likely even now they're thoroughly incompetent in solving the problem -- and this, in the end, must be as good an explanation as any.
With certain topics NEWS HACKS and their allies will never be wrong. Thus with global warming, a topic one can't conceive without politics, and that, like politics at its worst, wipes humility off the agenda. Now The Paper of Re-CORD must insist that global warming will prevent "a new Ice Age." Where were these prophets of doom several years ago?

College just started. You're assigned a bland dorm room with wood paneling. You barely have enough money for shampoo, let alone fancy decor. What do you do?
If you're Pop reader Taylor T., you turn to mustaches.
"My roommate and I wanted to spice up our dorm room, and we share a love for mustaches, so when we saw these wall graphics we knew we had to have them!" she says. "We chose to place them on our mirror, but they could really go anywhere. They're cheap ($5 for four) and can be found at www.one-updesigns.com."
Thanks for the tip, Taylor -- and good luck this year. Dorm life is tough, mustaches or not.
And here's the picture:
I wonder...how would THIS guy look with a painted-on mustache?
God I'm tired of posting that mug but HE IS GANNETT!
P. S. No aspersions to Taylor T., it's just that the heirs of THE GUY WITH THE MUSTACHE don't like their readers very much.

I would have imagined that the press might have been able to win public support for its operations based on the "public interest" role it plays.
One wonders if the effort to spice up copy to compete with online sites by focusing more on horse-race journalism, entertainment news, and tabloid stories, at the expense of quote-unquote serious journalism—investigative reporting and the like—compromised the news business' ability to argue for such support.
