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.

One other thing: I typed rather foolishly in suggesting the new Pope might be Asian or African as I believe there's all but handful of cardinals on the two continents (I don't know); but I still suggest John Paul's successor will be from what is politically incorrectly called The Third World, and this includes Latin America, although I suspect most cardinals there may be out as they're infected with the deadly virus of LIBERATION THEOLOGY.

It will also be interesting to see what his name is. One of John Paul's few faults was that name out of the Beatles (and that was because he succeeded a pope who was poisoned or whatever), and I hope it will be something distinguished, and no compound.
