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.

When P. R. MEL came out with his gory S&M fantasy, we had our brows all tied up in knots and our furrors getting furrowed at the EEEEEEEEEEEVIL let loose in the world. Now (Praise the LORD! Meaning us) we get our REVENGE!
SIX OF ONE....
And as I've said before, you know A SHOW-BIZ NEWS HACK'S DOING A ROTTEN JOB WHEN HE USES A PUN.
(Of course at THE REUT we cry rivers of crocodile tears over the UNJUST DEATHS IN THE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEVIL WAR IN IRAQ -- and we're also likely to declare an annual moment of silence for RACHEL CORRIE.)
