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.

Apparently the JACKASS is a paid shill for Amazon.com and other organizations and does not even bother to slug such posts ADS. This is why I do NOT believe bloggers.
I'm mad too because he's part of the PAJAMAS MEDIA clique, which got its name from pursuing Dan Blather's FONTS. Sorry Glenn, this isn't 100% ethical either. And sorry too, Glenn, that "Amazon.com affiliate" business way way down the right-hand column doesn't excuse it -- especially when you've run an unpaid ad like THIS.
