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.

1. News hacks provided the platform for this story. 2. The moment the first shot was fired, all those stupid well-paid cameramen were taping away and not one person from the FIFTH ESTATE tried to intervene. 3. On Reliable [sic] Sources, Howie the Hair Shirt will pull out that plum again and say what a bad boy am I, for upper-six-digits. (Howie, couldn't you talk your TWXster bosses into buying you a new plum?) 4. This story will inspire at least twenty JOURNALISTIC seminars. 5. Ratings went up on LALA's 5:00 infotainments. 6. I don't care if it was a LAWYER. What if it had been a mother and child? Why must these idiots prove they have negative ethics and morals?

Oh how long ago when people liked news hacks, after 9/11, and that was only because the hacks don't like to see people die, albeit under very qualified circumstances.
