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.

ANDY S. and MICKEY have declared TUCKER INNOCENT. Perhaps it was too easy too come down on him after the EDWARD R. MURROW OF COMEDY thundered from his GREAT FANNY -- er, SEAT OF WISDOM. Perhaps Jonathan is another classless TWXSTER (this is NEWS?). Perhaps Tucker is a good intelligent guy; it's usually hard to judge with TELEVISION. Problem is, he's a PUNDIT, and the first thing people assume of pundits is that they make BIG BUCKS SAYING THE FIRST THING THAT COMES TO THEIR HEADS -- and CROSSFIRE was the worst example of it. So maybe Tucker was innocent, and we shouldn't have tarred-and-feathered him en masse. But SOMEBODY SURE AS HADES WAS GUILTY.
