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.

Dubya celebrates Bill "Bach's B-Minor Mass is My Friend" Buckley's creation -- and not once does he give evidence that he's ever actually read it. Indeed it sounds as if someone's coached him in all the right phrases. This "speech" gives painful evidence of the dyslexic in the White House, and for the rag to boast of it is a pitiful thing, like an ugly girl boasting she's been kissed. I appreciate Dr. Kissinger, and Dusty Rhodes and Ed Capano, as well. It's good to see you all. Yes, PodPerson, I can see why you left ONE LAUREATE off your list.
