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.

POWER LINE and HUGH HEWITT are EXCITED because THE BLOGOSPHERE!!!!! has DECIMATED MR. MARK'S ARTICLE ABOUT JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yet reading Hugh I get the feeling it's just more people firing ammo at a BIGMEDIA target that turns mid-air into harmless blanks; Hugh gives no evidence BLUNDER rag's changed its tune. He forgets BIGMEDIA is a miles-high fortress surrounded by an miles-wide impenetrable moat of prejudices and cash. For all practical purposes VIACON hasn't even responded to BLATHERGATE yet. The tools of our democracy are in our hands, but concentrated media power can still render them worthless.

I must confess I was deked by MR. MARK'S PRETTY COVER. That's the last time THAT happens.
