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.

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

But "financial analysts will realize that this will extend the already 'extended period' of Fed QE for many more months," he added, referring to the central bank's quantitative easing plans. Finally, he noted that "expectations were jerked back to reality today" but that "we remain fully invested in the US stock market."TRANSLATION: YIPPEE!!!!!
