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.

DILBERTS of ARLINGTON! Why couldn't you have added a DIP! ad to the mix?
P. S. What's a "private interview," Elysa? Does that mean Bruce is YOUR BUDDY? Or was MoveOn.org lobbying you? (News hacks? LOBBIED? PERISH THE THOUGHT!)
P. P. S. Looks like OMERTA's flack RONNY had "an interview" too -- and by gum if the words aren't about the same as in Elysa's! Before the end of the day we'll be subjected to 100 "INTERVIEWS"! Well, anything's worth it to expel the EEEEEEEEEEEEVIL DUBYA!
