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.

Underlying (perhaps I should say belying) Karl's suck-u...TRIBUTE to the RICH is the old con-SER-va-tive notion that private wealth should supplant the government, not complement it. Even if we could confiscate every last dollar of the wealth of these heroes (most of whom, suspiciously, seem not to be regarded as such by many), we would still have a fraction of what government needs to provide the social services people have GROWN ACCUSTOMED TO. And I'm not impressed that Michael "FORE!" Dell has "pledged" $5 million to the hurricane relief, before tax deductions; aside from being pocket change to a man Little Malcolm GUESSES to be worth $18 billion, or whatever number he's invented, we can't imagine how much money he's subtracted from working America's pockets through his brilliant OUTSOURCING.
