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.

The longer the Pope lingers, the more his reputation suffers. With his stern challenge of European communism he was one of the few heroes of recent history, but in the last year he went stone deaf over pedophilia among his American clerics, and then he came out with the antiwar nuts. Now, with Iraq decided, the Pope speaks in platitudes. John Paul seems unable to realize no Pope can speak with authority on war after the Vatican's shameful reticence during the Holocaust. This is the tragedy of a man ossifying in office.
