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. 4:
News isn't news when we don't report it.

Count us proved wrong. But what can one expect of tyrants and frauds? Harvey should have starred in The Producers; he had the scum for it. Since he seems to be playing to the Congress too we can only hope someday it forces ST. JACK's as-yet-unanointed successor and that blithering idiot who runs CARA to a hearing -- and further forces them to testify UNDER OATH.
