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.

Andy S., he who railed for days against Sen. Dennis Day but decided Mr. Morals's agony was a "private matter," has turned slightly bearish on Iraq. Mr. S., is, of course, a news hack, is thus not entitled to the benefit of the doubt, and earlier on, he was slightly unsure we'd win the war. To the extent his worry is justified, we're passing into a phase where the Iraqis determine their fate, and a little finger-crossing is justified. But I wouldn't rely on any news hack to help me cross my fingers.
