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.

Tonight I listened to the superb product of (astonishing) the only commercial recording sessions involving Pops and the Duke, and halfway through the first disc I remembered that on my usual walk down South Street this afternoon someone at THE CHEAP CHANNEL-AFFILIATED DEN of NO-TALENTS posted a sign promoting A CHEAP CHANNEL PRODUCTION IN MARCH STARRING MS. LIP-SYNC, and I thought of how the ad-blurb copywriters for OUR VERY TRUSTWORTHY PAPERS will put the best POSSIBLE face on her "singing" (which may already have been recorded), and I thought to myself, why do we put up with such nonsense? Dolts like ASH-lee should be flipping burgers -- not flipping the public the bird. I HATE THIS AGE!

And how much more electronically-simulated music will ASH-lee's handlers produce? More, I fear, than Pops and the Duke recorded together.

Or as THE BOSS'S SON would say, in proud imitation of his father, "I DON'T CARE IF IT'S MUSIC SO LONG AS IT'S MONEY!!!!!"
