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.

Have you ever seen a picture of the young Buddy Ebsen? He was in the Ziegfeld Follies, after the master died (though he got his start with him years earlier as a chorus boy), dancing with his sister Vilma, and boy, if he'd have been ten years younger, he'd be Mark Twain's prototype for good ol' Huck Finn! The rest of his story is ancient history, and though he became famous as star of a very bad sitcom, it's God gift to make people laugh -- especially when accompanied by a laugh track. RIP.
