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.

Sites like POWER LINE!!!!!!!!!!!! can be next to useless because they always rely on the same three sources: The Wall Street Journals Conservative Edition (and especially the FREELOADERS' REVIEW), The Washington Times, THE NEW YORK POST!!!!!!!!!!, plus some very like-minded bloggers. As Dick Gephardt's nomination for vice president and EXIT POLLS have proved, these sources have -- problems. I try to keep my options open, but even then there's no way of knowing what's out on the Web, and I always bang my head on the keyboard thinking I'm missing some sites of real value. But I do know when a SUPERDUPERMEGAGIGABLOGGER finds something he touts as TERRIFIC!!!!!, you can be sure it's just a political version of AIN'T IT COOL NEWS.
