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.

P. R. MEL BRINGS PEOPLE BACK TO CHURCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So did 9/11. Many left after the fashion. (And also no doubt because so many churches offer bad music, bad preaching and bad politics. And further no doubt because they might not be the greatest place to meet a nice looking woman.) Billy Sunday (a "Dr." Dobson -- no, NOT a ninny -- a firebrand preacher with a sense of language and humor) brought a lot of people into church. (He used show-biz types also.) He also helped create Prohibition, which led to a vast increase in speakeasy attendance. Every time NEWS HACKS say we're closer to the Kingdom of God, we're backsliding somehow.

Here's Glenn Gould again: "I believe in God -- Bach's God."

NEWMARKET!! WHERE ARE YOUR "MIRACLES"?!?!?
