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.

Sorry to mention them once more, but before the Freepers gloat too much more about "bringing down" Danno -- and they do deserve much of the credit; still, to repeat, he hasn't come down yet -- we should note a lot of infants and children crawl through the site telling ka-ka jokes and wee-wee jokes, often of the visual kind. I encountered a violent one just now, and I was not pleased. (I will not link, but it was in a thread about some silly chef in New York.) It behooves these people to grow up a little, especially given the forum's well-earned rep for name calling (and I say this as a member and sometimes poster myself).
