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'm sorry, putting Reagan on the dime makes no sense. First off, Roosevelt's on the dime because his battle against polio (or whatever it was) led to the March of Dimes, which helped eradicate it. Second -- and lest we forget bad things happened on Reagan's watch too -- he signed the piece of...LEGISLATION that cleared the way for the budget-busting S&L fraud. "Wehell," he foolishly said in signing it, "I think we've...hit the jackpot!" Yeah. You and Charlie Keating.

And look who's fighting this battle: The oily POWERFUL CHAIRMAN OF THE HOUSE RULES COMMITTEE, MR. BO DEREK, and the CONGRESSMAN FROM HOLLYWOOD. No, you don't want to run into THESE characters in the dead of night in a dark alley either.
