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 work ten minutes a day.
I rule the universe.
I'm going to live forever.
You are an idiot.

And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 4:
