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.

This is where the TWXSTERS serve themselves ill with this dull Web site and their cockamamie only-subscribers-can-read-the-cover-story shtick. BLUNDER may be America's second most risible rag after THE PAPER OF RE-CORD, but its Web site is well-designed and draws vast attention to itself. TWXSTER rag's, by contrast, is dull looking, has few links and too much emphasis on maroon (as in Bugs's line, "What a maroon!"), and seems to discourage browsing. So we cannot know if this cover plug for ANN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! is satire, or designed to make raucous fun of her, or if the TWXSTERS are selling a book. But we do know however bad the rag it deserves a better Web site.
