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.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 4:

This morning I worked myself into a bad mood thinking of Ted Field, the notorious junk-film and recorded-sound mogul. As Field is so superior to the slime that has patronized his bird droppings he never speaks to the press, but in his prime he trotted out someone to placate the HACKS, someone who insisted he was Field's "friend" but who was no doubt just a glorified PR officer. The hacks got all their information on this sleazeball from this "friend," and were so overcome with joy they never asked for another direct interview. We've a sneaky hunch this guy may have been an ACT. So when some STENOGRAPHER like HILLEL croons of sweat pants and sweat shirts, hamburgers, french fries and Cherry Cokes, bridge and ukuleles, we must think it pure unmitigated BS, and we'll have to wait until well after ST. WARREN dies to find out anything approaching the truth.
And it's not even HIS book, it's some hack named Schroeder's. (No, not THAT Schroeder.)
P. S. EXCELLENCE IN CUTTING AND PASTING FROM NEWSMAX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A bidding war for an authorized biography of the "ideas" of billionaire Warren Buffett has been won by the Bantam Dell Publishing Group, a division of Random House Inc.
Tentatively titled "The Snowball: How Warren Buffett Collected Friends, Wisdom and Wealth," the book is scheduled to come out in 2008. Several publishers were interested and a representative close to the deal said it was worth more than $7 million, although not as much as the reported $10 million to $12 million for former President Clinton ‘s "My Life." Former General Electric Co. CEO Jack Welch reportedly got $7.1 million for his best seller, "Jack: Straight From the Gut."
"Our deal is with her. She is the author," Bantam president and publisher Irwyn Applebaum told The Associated Press Wednesday through spokeswoman Barbara Burg.
