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.

In light of the fact that Lowry Mays suffered a blood clot in his brain back in April (did YOU hear about it?) we will cease calling him "Lowsy." That said, we will NOT stop calling it CHEAP CHANNEL, even more so now that the advertiser-supported tyrant of the airwaves is "adapting to realities" by lobbying Congressjerks and going PC. What NEWT and THE FUNERAL DIRECTOR started, Little Markie can FINISH -- and he'll finish off radio if we're lucky.
