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 see the clowns at Trib LALA Edition have put their entertainment section off-limits. While little there is worth reading -- the world can do without the eructations of Robert "Over the" Hilburn -- the Trib gang did it without notice. I think the dream in the back of too many news hacks' tiny brains is to turn all their sites paid, and maybe throw a bone of AP headlines to those who can't or won't pay. If they want to make the Internet useless -- and they seem to want to do it -- this is the way to go.
