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 must only be astonished KnightRidder would call student-teacher sex "always" wrong. From an industry willing to make excuses for anything up to and including child porn this is incredible. Indeed the only things that are always wrong in this business are the Republican party, conservatism, Christianity and Judaism. We cannot imagine TONY's hacks or anybody's hacks being -- JUDGMENTAL. But here's a reason this biz is healthier than ever: it has moved so far from its consumers' values that when a paper dare say student-teacher sex is always wrong it is as if a great big electric light has suddenly popped on over its head, radiating sun-like with a fierce zapping sound. So we are glad our Daily Nooz finds student-teacher sex always wrong, even if this common sense prevails more only a millisecond, as it must with NEWS HACKS.
