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.

Now that G000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000GLE is closing in on $100,000 a share we should entertain all sorts of appalling fantasies -- like a resurgence in the attractiveness of BIGMEDIA stocks. Already the Search Engine with the Infinite Price is approaching Time Warner's and Viacon's market caps. Why can't the providers of America's Worst Blogging Service start thinking of being giants to surpass John D. Rockefeller or Andrew Carnegie? Why not buy two or three media firms? Or a half a dozen newspaper chains? And if they don't want media why not high-tech? Have they dreamed of making a run at BILL'S DREAD EMPIRE OF THE UNTOLD BUGS? Such a thought is preposterous, but Lucent at almost $65 a share taught us in the wonderful world of investment bubbles no psychosis is too preposterous.
