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.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 4:
News isn't news when we don't report it.

The SUPERDUPERMEGAGIGABLOGGER ROG linked to a UPI story -- and sorry to say it, ROG, UPI these days may not be DEBKA, but it ain't that far away.
Maybe THAT'S how I can get hits -- just type anything that comes to my head and call it NEWS! Other bloggers do -- and they're merely aping THE PRESS.
And of course, in his NEXT POST ROG demands "SCRUPULOUS ACCURACY" from BLOGGERS.
