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.

What if anything is going through John "Rosemary Clooney is Square" Rockwell's mind? Perhaps he realizes he isn't getting any younger (unlike most current or former rock music ad-blurb copywriters); perhaps he realizes he, along with his fellow cretins at THE PAPER OF RECORD, has palmed off too much ugliness as BEAUTY, either for its political correctness or its trendiness. Given the hideous fads PINCH'S HACKS have championed, from graffiti to "THE GREATEST WORK OF AMERICAN POP CULTURE OF THE PAST QUARTER CENTURY," we should always be suspicious when a leading 10-watt light for an organization that single-handedly defined "effete snob" comes out with even a halting endorsement of beauty in art. For as we hardened PAPER OF RECORD detractors know, to everything at the PUZZLE PALACE OF MANHATTAN there is an ulterior motive, and it often isn't a PRETTY one.
