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.

Speaking further of POWER LINE!!!!!, when its omnipotent SUPERDUPERMEGAGIGABLOGGERS aren't puzzling over Mark Steyn's love of musicals or misidentifying Al Capp, they fulminate in 1,520 WORDS over the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. It's slightly annoying because these guys are professionals and (as they admit) they seem to have no trouble getting their work published; heck one of the crowd boasted about being Tom Brokaw's guest star on his recent election coverage. It's like that insider and show-biz mouthpiece STERNO!!!!! always kvetching about PRUDES when he has thousands of connections which he's used to battle them. I'm really getting tired of SUPERDUPERMEGAGIGABLOGGERS having it both ways: complaining about their powerlessness and all the evil Viacon Network News employees who want to persecute them -- and doing so in every medium they can get their networking on.
