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.

UPI is reporting that a former South Korean intelligence officer is accusing his government of bribing North Korea's Supreme Exalted Intrepid Maximum Holy Poobah, etc., Kim Jong Il, to a "historic" reunification conference to the tune of $1.7 billion (!!!!!), which he then spent on you know what. It also won the briber, South Korea's president Kim Dae-jung, a Nobel Peace prize -- after some heavy personal lobbying, the officer asserts. Koreans in office have an uncontrollable tendency to crooked dealing. If true this could shake our ally's government down to its roots.

We've already given up on the Nobel Appeasement Prize.
