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.

Sorry to complain but this exasperates me: I got ten hits (the usual pittance) in five hours this morning -- and though I've posted six times since I HAVEN'T GOTTEN ANY FURTHER HITS! I wonder if this too is G000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000GLEBLOGGER at work. How can I hope to have ANYBODY read me? If I'm not that good I can understand, and perhaps that's the problem -- but why do I think the problem also lies with some sort of huge on-off switch with its own half-brain?

Well, for what it's worth, I'm no. 121,811 on PubSub. I was around 1,000,000 a month ago -- and 2,000,000 once in the last two weeks. What do these numbers MEAN?
