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.

I've come to realize that the looseness of the journalistic life, the seeming laxity of the newsroom, is an illusion.

And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 4:
News isn't news when we don't report it.
