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.

Another sales pitch: you have to go all the way down the article to find Sir Schlockintosh's production of Oliver! which is playing these parts is (clear the throat here) "of the 'bus and truck' variety," but then the author is a rock-music-ad-blurb copywriter, so we can expect lots of hip-hopping around the truth.

I mention this show because another central tenet of Rendellism is filling the theaters with bus-and-truck-company productions as that allows the local hotels and eateries to hire more of the maids, janitors, bellhops and dishwashers that will fuel a city's economy.
