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.

NOTE: I do not know how anyone can run a post on the first draft, except for very short ones. I find myself constantly revising after I publish (and no, it's not my intention to get on the "Fresh Blogs" list at Blogger.com, though it doesn't hurt). I've revised this post three times. I even revise posts from two weeks ago. I do hope my writing isn't bad, although when I peruse my archives (as I'm wont to do now and then) I cringe on every third entry. Oh well, at least I don't spend my bandwidth typing "OMG."

I will comment on other bloggers soon. Let's just say, they're interesting.
