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.

Must've been an EXCITING Tony Award ceremony. A future bus-and-truck staple wins, and two news hacks gabgabgab about "diversity," which I guess means the usual Je$$e kind of PC rainbow monochrome, and the hacks wait till the very end to tell us one reason we had RECORD B.O. was that ticket prices were high, which should tell us, if nothing else can, that the Great White Way is not a center for artistic endeavor, just an overgrown Branson with an attitude and gays.

And if there isn't enough evidence that Broadway has nothing to do with art, consider the sad song of Bernadette, overlooked for a Tony because -- well, can you really see that cute little pipsqueak as Mama Rose?
