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.

See E. J., here is why we HATE news hacks: you say you really really really want to do good, but then you whine and pout and blame the other guy, and when people point to your faults you deny everything. In short, you and your friends in closed-mindedness (on BOTH sides) earn huge sums just to say, "I'm right and they're wrong." If that's all you hacks are capable of -- we know with you it is -- why don't you retire, or get a job with CNN, and let somebody replace you who might see enemies on BOTH sides.

And a big fat DEMERIT to the drone who wrote that misleading hed; we thought for once we might get something different. Something DIFFERENT from ST. WARREN?
