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 a time when we are NOT served well by the sieg-heil monopoly of the news biz. NEWS HACKS clearly want us to fail in Iraq so they can ELECT A DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT WHO'LL PROTECT THEIR GREEDY BUSINESS INTERESTS AND MOLDY STATUS-QUO CULTURAL PREJUDICES. The problem is THERE IS NO CREDIBLE BIG-NAME NEWS ORGANIZATION WITH A CONSERVATIVE TILT. (And YES, I DEFINITELY include RUPERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, a despicable panem-et-circenses man if ever there was one.) And we certainly can't rely on BIG-NAME BLOGGERS for reasons like PROF'S DISAPPEARANCE and the fact that much of their work involves REWRITING NEWS HACKS AND SPREADING RUMORS. WHAT CAN WE DO?
