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.

Here's a rare instance where SYNERGY paid dividends to other than the synergists. We wonder if this would have seen daylight if PEOPLE WARNER weren't the world's largest producer and consumer of bad animation -- the three "classics" mentioned in the first graf are ALL PEOPLE WARNER's -- and we must take a TWXSTER's word that South Korean animators get good pay and aren't mistreated, keeping in mind it makes HIS company look good; but this story is remarkable in spotlighting one of the altogether too many interesting topics news hacks won't spotlight unless someone kicks them in the rears, and it's annoying to think in this instance it took a trendy "artist", and a ZILLIONAIRE DOUGHNUT EATER.
