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.

STERNO's patting his back over the TOM PAINE he pulled in The Nation -- and he's patting it so hard it must look like The Christ after P. R. MEL. To say the man is politically tone-deaf is an understatement; he turns the PERSECUTION OF ONE OF THE GREAT MEDIA PERSONALITIES IN HISTORY into a red-blue issue -- in a magazine that fervently hopes for DISASTER in IRAQ and has run the kind of BUSH=HITLER diatribes that used to get such tantrums from him. That the CAUSE IS SO NOBLE AND RIGHT does not make the act any less STINKILY POLITICAL.
