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.

Here is why NEWS HACKS will retain a glowing nostalgia for Slick's White House until the sun burns to a black hole: he let their first cousins of SHOW-BIZ into every cranny, and since the only difference between, say, an anchorpoop and an actor is that the anchorpoop's script comes hot off the AP, he was de facto letting them in too. Bush tried evicting them to a defeaning chorus of boos, but once they esconce DIPPITY-DO they'll be back with a vengeance, bringing their cruddy old baggage too, just like the Beverly Hillbillies, and they'll never leave.
