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.

And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.

Early sales have taken a relatively small bite out of Warner Books' first printing of 101,000 copies.
"Right now, it's not on a bestseller trajectory," said John Kremer, editor of the Book Marketing Update newsletter. "It should be selling more than that, given all the promotion they're doing."
