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.

Linda, you are a big windbag -- but isn't that what RUPERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! pays you to be? Isn't that what news hacks are supposed to be? And isn't that why people are slowly abandoning the papers, because they're finding it's the only way to take the air out of you windbags -- and even that doesn't work because you get pumped up from somewhere else?

Sorry, this is the second story today that repeats the cliche that movies in the seventies were better than ever -- the second of five hundred if I wanted to look. I HATE NEWS HACKS!!!!!
