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.

Obviously a fairly brainy bunch reads Jennifer. And affluent! (We are surprised that so many blacks seem to read it, so maybe some races and creeds aren't that monolithic.) A lot of the sites are like this. Of course there's no telling what the graduate courses are in, and judging from the last twenty years it's taken a lot of smarts to run our country into the ground, but we're proud.
On the other hand Grate.com exposed us (no link) to an extremely popular Web site that spreads social diseases (no link), and surprise! Two thirds of its surfers are men, they tend to be poorer, and more have no college than graduate schooling. So much for finding women through the Web.
