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 said on August 1 Ah-NULT would run. I said on August 7 Ah-NULT would probably win -- based, as I put it then, on "name recognition," which is surely is a big chunk of why he won. (I was wrong in thinking Gray Davis would resign, but I still believe it would have been a good tactical move -- especially if he and Lt. Gov. Bustabudget had seen eye-to-eye.) Unfortunately I don't get ten billion hits every five minutes, nor do I make $2 billion a year gassing on national radio, but I'm still proud of myself, especially after the PROFESSOR said yesterday HILLARY registered with the FEC for a White House run. Oh well, back to obscurity.
