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.

Indeed we wonder how miraculous the hacks' coverage is as they make us forget this disaster ruined parts of three states, not one; and though raging crowds and the occasional telegenic corpse floating in the water may get our competitive juices flowing (and New Orleans's troubles were all but inevitable given its horrid poverty) we note that much progress has occured in bringing utilites back, and the oil business is on its way to recovery; we should not be surprised if even the Underwater City gets some small amount of electricity by next week. All in all, preeners, you aren't THAT good.
