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.

I understand why those genuinely afraid of war (as opposed to A.N.S.W.E.R., whose members are genuinely afraid of Trotsky) might balk at fighting Saddam. Who wants war? But the holy cockroaches (with whom the secularly self-worshipping Saddam may be in league) tell us why we have no choice. I didn't see it, but I hope the General's evidence before the UN Security Council was better than the evidence leading to the Gulf of Tonkin resolution. I needn't be convinced Saddam is no good, and that we'll have to get him, sooner or later -- the sooner the better with his nasty WMDs. Two things in our favor this time: Smart bombs, and, we're not fighting the Chinese and the Russians by proxy, just as members of a worthless debating society. And even they seem agreeable.
