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:

And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.

Sure Mac, sure.
Since switching to the other side Carney has gained a reputation among Washington reporters, many of whom he’s known for years, for having a short fuse and being fiercely protective of his boss’ image.
Hey! He might still be fun!
