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.

Cybergossip Matt Drudge, whose drudgereport.com is perhaps the biggest single driver of Internet traffic to news sites, has dropped Post columnists Keith Kelly, Steve Dunleavy, Diane Dimond and Andrea Peyser because they're inaccessible to readers without special passwords. "My first concern," Drudge told me yesterday, "is that readers have direct access to information."
WALTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHEN WILL YOU DROP YOUR SPYWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?
"...the biggest single driver of Internet traffic to news sites...." We've seen that line before. Does someone have a DIRECT LINK to WALTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? Or just a SHORTCUT on the KEYBOARD?
