Commandments of Journalism

The Commandments of Journalism(the religion of journalists):

• Thou shall find something horrible to say about someone you disagree with, the bad-er the better.
• The Truth is relative.
• The accusation need not be true(after all thou art a journalist and thy mind is impeccable), the accused has the burden of proving their innocence. 
• If the accused is able to prove their innocence, accuse them of censorship, racism, Nazism or some other more generic crime.  These labels will put the infidel (non-Journalist) back in his proper place.
• Thou shall not leave any room for balance.  Fill in the blanks of a story for your readers and make sure they are unable to draw their own conclusions.  Allowing a reader to think for themselves is a serious sin. 
• Independent bloggers are eeeeeeevil. Speak badly of them.
• Pro-lifers are eeeeeeeevil and dangerous.  Keep them out of the spotlight unless they off a woman-liberator(abortionist).  
• Organized religion is eeeeeeeevil.  Make sure to attack it frequently.  Never speak of any of its good works.
• The NYT is infallible on her teachings.  
• Never look at things in historical context. History is boring.
