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.

Just as the race thing has become the guiding principle on the left regarding the hurricane, so we have an embellishment of a theme in the con-SER-va-tive CW: that the National Guard's response was GREAT and that to have had them in position before the storm would have meant untold casualties. Well we seem to have done well enough on the death-and-destruction front, haven't we? And why is it GREAT to take a WEEK to move 50,000 soldiers? We know all about the logistical problems of D-Day. Unfortunately there were no Germans in cement bunkers in Louisiana and Mississippi.
