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.

I didn't see the complaints that that puff piece in THE PAPER OF RECORD concentrated on loony-left bloggers; but if I posted cursorily it's because I wasn't ready to surf through ten pages, and more to the point, I wasn't ready to snooze through yet another flack's kissing the feet of SUPERMEGABLOGGERS.

Given that it was a soaring tribute for lefty SUPERMEGABLOGGERS, my original point STANDS.

My only solace is that if no one reads most blogs, no one will read the SUPERMEGABLOGGERS after they've finished being the NEXT BIG THING.
