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 EXAMPLE OF HOW AMERICA'S FIRST AMENDMENT DEFENDERS SERVE THE PUBLIC INTEREST: After having been inundated with stories about something called THE WING BOWL and suicide attempts in print after THE IGGLES lost and every @#$%&* murder to come down the pike, I learn only TODAY from our local KNIGHT RIDDER "news"paper monopoly that labor troubles at the transit authority that shleps me to and from work every day are bad enough that its workers have authorized a strike. (A Google News search proves the local "MEDIA" have all but ignored this sudden story.) To be sure it isn't pleasant contemplating the expense of a cab (my only alternative for now), but knowing a few weeks ahead of time might have prepared me a little better. Instead WE GET WING BOWLS, IGGLES, MURDERS, BOOBS AND BOOBS -- and SORRY, just because you PAY for the news DOESN'T mean you get what you pay for.
