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.

Greek myth tells us how Odysseus plugged his crew's ears with wax and had himself tied to his ship's mast to escape the Sirens. Well, Honorary Mayor Mike wants to build that @#$%&* OLYMPIC WHITE ELEPHANT at ANY COST, so he can bask in the sound of a whole city evacuating for three weeks, and now comes word that OUR beloved mayor is willing to spend millions to bask in the ear-rending screech of NEWS HACK SIRENS praising him to the ages. Did he ever think (no, he never has) that maybe all that money he'll be paying for police and overtime and turning half the city into a frozen zone could have gone to AFRICAN RELIEF? He'd be better donating it to KNIGHTRIDDER to print hundreds of special sections praising him as our CITY'S GREATEST MAYOR.
