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.

From the ultra-cute Slate style of writing to the fact that the author has worked for such exemplars of rigorous nonpartisanship as the Rev. Charles Peters and ARROGANT BLUNDER -- and both Rev. Peters's rag and the BLUNDER had the evidence -- I say TIM broke the story on how Mr. Morals tried to break the bank, or at least worked as a go-between.

Tim! "Game" for a lie-detector test? Didn't think so.

P. S. Given that Washington Post ARROGANT BLUNDER Magazine is, shall we say, ungainly, and because there's a Blender Magazine, from now on, we will call Warren Buffett's favorite newsweekly just plain BLUNDER.
