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.

In the past few days several bloggers have advanced the worthwhile notion that screaming "McCARTHYISM" is a way of checkmating talk on the evils of communism. So what happens? Robert Redford (you're not that good looking anymore, Bob!) screams "McCARTHYISM"!!!!! His problem, though, isn't communism, it's bad movies. He's still mad that somebody "censored" his original ad for The Last Castle, which featured an upside-down U. S. flag. To which I answer, it came out just after 9/11, BOB, and (and this is what really makes YOU mad) it was a box-office bomb! Shut up, Bob. Your crow's feet are having baby crows.
