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.

It would be nice to have a number. PAPEROFRE-CORD.com and other sources still insist it's two. That has to be wrong. Too many sources are going by some UNNAMED U. S. OFFICIAL insisting it's 40, and they INSIST he got it from the British. WHO HE? Could we have an accurate number, please?

P. S. I am forced to remember that on 9/11 or the day after NEWSMAX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ran a story quoting a "New York Port Authority official" saying "30,000 DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Thankfully it was a fraction of that, still an obscene fraction, but it could have been worse. The same, I suspect, this time.

Now the MESS is claiming "at least 33" without any source. I think it best to sit and wait here.
