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's a story we've ignored: The Beeb has named a new boss -- a man sneered at as "ponographer-in-chief" at another British broadcaster and a nephew of Lord Lew Grade, producer of such masterworks as Raise the Titanic and known affectionately as Low Grade.

This does not augur well for the Beeb, but I doubt we'll hear from ANDY S. about it, as this moves it one step closer to his beloved goal: ownership by RUPERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Although in a sense it's already there.
