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.

I like the way you don't allow anyone to tamper with YOUR text. You claim you don't want to be censored, yet you DARE to censor us. This is precisely the kind of double-standard I expect of MEDIA ZILLIONAIRES.
You really expect me to believe a coalition run by GE, NEWSCORP and VIACOM has MY best interests at heart? What's next -- are you going to sell me the Brooklyn Bridge? You only want your own brand of control over the peons. You don't want anybody telling you how to do anything, just as you've done ever since you BIGMEDIA frauds became a national menace. Besides, your sugar daddies in the advertising trade will ALWAYS pay. With YOUR power and THEIR money, why are you kvetching? Sincerely, A Disgruntled Voter who is Sick and Tired of Special Interest Groups like Yours
Next time, I may do it even longer.
