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.

As no one reads us except by accident, and then for two seconds with a grumpy click to another site, we confess to huge pangs of jealousy at how other bloggers can affect the course of history. Just the other day, for instance, the great melodramatist ANDY's guest host Walt managed to ruin a friendship with another writer. At times like these we pine and sigh, but then we take comfort in realizing that to posterity, there is not a wooden nickel's difference between a blogger like me who types for nothing, and a BIG NAME SUCCESSFUL BLOGGER'S GUEST HOST who in the end, typed for nothing.
