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.

The head gonzo at LALA tells his "story behind the story" (sort of like the flatulent Paul Harvey, n'est pas?), which is the same as before, but because the biz has practiced politics since Horace Greeley insisted the very rich William Henry Harrison lived in a log cabin (and also because Gray said some very nice words to some of his help), few will believe him.

(Speaking of Old Tip I just came across his notorious inaugural address -- in its numbing length and crushing verbiage an inspiration to many of today's leading blown-out lights like Sen. Ossified Kleagle, Sen. Foghorn Leghorn, and JACK!!!!!)
