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.

This is why a columnist like Richard Cohen hardly matters. Yes, right-wingers have their infernal crotchets, like their money worship; and as I've noted before, Free Republic is one of the great day care centers of the Web for all its tantrums. But leftists have their infernal crotchets too, like their tolerant bigotry, and their Free Republics as well -- several serve in the Senate. So we really don't need a lefty to tell us of the evil of righties any more than we a righty to tell us the evil of lefties, for in the end, these tantrum throwers can all go to Hell.
