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.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 4:
News isn't news when we don't report it.

Naz -- REACTIONARY RIGHT-WING RED STATERS!
(I see someone from this college has briefly glanced at my blog. I don't want you folks to think I think anything bad of you for being embarrassed -- I have a way with heavy-handed irony -- but certain PUNDITS have this habit of cogitating with their KNEES, and said pie-thrower may be immortalized tomorrow by THE GLIBERAL, or JOE CON-ASON, or someone else of that extremely enlightened ILK.)
