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.

AT THE CORE OF THE RELENTLESS PARTISAN ASSAULT ON THE AMERICAN NEWS MEDIA'S TRADITION THAT GOOD JOURNALISM CAN AND SHOULD BE UNBIASED....
Yeah yeah, we know what you mean MERT. PARTISAN=CONSERVATIVE. You don't have to tell us. Anyway, you're mad, MERT, that THE WALL STREET JOURNALS LIBERAL EDITION'S star SLANT -- JERRRNALLIST outed her biases. You're mad that we now know she worked as a "translator" in IRAN. You're mad because you agreed with her, and now that conservatives are complaining it's somewhat more difficult for her to slan -- WORK; the LIBERAL EDITION'S EDITOR is telling her to KEEP HER BIASES QUIET UNTIL AFTER THE ELECTION. In short, another six-digit goes WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH in the luxury day care news suite.
