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.

Today -- and I wasn't sure I wanted to write about this -- I start my second year with this blog. Site Meter hasn't been too hopeful, and I'd beg for the mercy of the Profs but for my own timidity and the fear that (as I've said before) I'd get nothing in return but form e-mails. And I know -- I was just visiting a few sites mentioned in "My BlogChildren" -- that some of Prof's links are outdated, and the blogs infrequently updated, or abandoned. I haven't posted fifteen comments a day just for the sake of it. IF, to my three readers, you find anything I say enlightening, please pass the word along to the biggies. I have no intention of quitting, but I would like just a little recognition.
