It looks like a journalist has revealed
what the secret rules of journalism are! Check out the article, and here's some of the good ones:
"When deciding which tragedies deserve the most prominent coverage, use this simple math: 10,000 foreigners = one cute white American chick."
"If the President of the United States is accused of violating the law on the same day that an African country erupts into civil war and an especially gloomy economic report is released, and you must decide which one is your lead story, ask yourself this: Did the local sports team just win a big game?"
"When working at the New York Post, make sure your story includes all six W's: Who, What, When, Where, Why and With What Kind of Lubricant."
"When appearing on television, insinuate that all newspaper reporters are biased. When writing for a newspaper, imply that all television people are boobs with no credibility."
"When threatening to kill other human beings, make sure they do not live in your coverage area."
It's a pretty fantastic list.
