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.

ANOTHER ARGUMENT NEWS HACKS CAN'T LOSE: Republicans think the hacks knock America, but not so many Democrats, and it seems enough Democrats allege the press is too soft on Dubya, so the hacks can say it's a PARTISAN thing, a DIVISION thing, a RED-STATE-BLUE-STATE THING, ANYTHING that can get them to keep from acknowledging their biases and prejudices, and they can keep pulling that old gag, IF EVERYBODY HATES US WE'RE DOING A GREAT JOB. NO YOU'RE NOT.

Meantime, ROMY (who posted this) regales us today with the story of a paper that can't verify an ex-columnist's sources, proof the HACKS continue to work overtime at being devious.
