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.
--JOHN "OMERTA" CARROLL.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 4:
News isn't news when we don't report it.

SHARON does the Thinker pose on reality shows. Think pieces are worthless because they're lifeless from the first word, and they compound their worthlessness by quoting psychiatrists and PERFESSER THOMPSON. A writer with guts could make something of it. What guts this business has is in anatomically incorrect and politically correct places. Think pieces are completely destroyed by the hacks' concomitant obsessive desire to write ad copy, whose naked touting neuters their facile moral concern. If someone can't write thoroughly justified tubthumper on such an easy topic no one can write a tubthumper on anything.
