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.

I don't know why BzumBzumBzum is in such a lather over Kate Hepburn, unless her recent death reminds ol' Bzum that he's done some very foolish things for which he's guilty of insufficient reflection. (It could well be her conventionally liberal politics, but Bzum if so, you're just as bad as the hacks who'd lionize her solely for them. Can't we keep that grubby business out of this?) Honest Bzum, it was healthy when grand stars like Miss Hepburn weren't deep thinkers. Now the news hacks turn every rapper into Milton. At least Kate had fun, un-self-conscious fun, which is more than I can say for the deep-non-thinking "geniuses" we're inflicted with these days.
