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.

We know it's frustrasting, guys: you want to mount this concerted righteous holy offensive against Judge Sou -- ROBERTS, but you're reluctant to go into full Bork mode because if you do then you remind people of what makes Democrats great, and we can't afford that going into another round of elections next year, and then some other NINE FINGER might retire, and we don't ENTIRELY want to look like obstructionists, and so....
When you're down and out, remember, you have the Charmin news factories, and the Hollywood Toxic Waste Dump, and the MADMEN of MADAVE, and the scrambled-egghead assembly lines, so lift up your heads and -- SCREAM.
