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.

One reason people in the media-political axis have such depthless contempt for the public is that they were all together in student government and the yearbook and the paper and the musical in high school and college, where they honed their ego and insularity to a painful fine point. Now in an awesome exercise in personal nostalgia the worst of these jerks are taking further revenge on the rest of us by starring in a TV show even the most scarred of HBO's masochistic fans don't seem to be watching, where the fawning elite think they're making asses of us when all the while they're merely making asses of themselves.

Who wants to bet this masterpiece doesn't get renewed?
