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 also wish I knew why the flip side of QUAGMIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and THE BLAME GAME BEGINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! is ADVERTISING. The SOLE purpose of this story is to sell a movie. That much is obvious from the mere presence of Jack the Wizened Prune's sidekick Paul Dreck. These stories are as egregious and superfluous as the LALA Times's on the little girl who died from a hospital's errors, and like QUAGMIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, the news hacks won't stop producing them, and THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT THEM! That's why people hate news hacks: they're almost always wrong and frequently irresponsible, and neither God nor man can halt the flow of their noxious verbal sludge.
