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.'s "sabbatical" ought to teach us among other things that no blog is indispensable. If ANDY believes he can walk away from his site for nine months to pursue other interests, why can't any blogger? One of the problems with blogging is because corporate news webs sites are "forever," by extension blogs must be too. Just by being one-man shows blogs don't have the stamina or staying power. The solution may be cooperatives as with some of the SUPERDDUPERMEGAGIGABLOGGERS, as with the POP-UP POWER LINE BOZOS, but at what point do such sites quite being blogs and just turn into MMMMMMMMMMSSSSSSSSSSMMMMMMMMMM?
