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.

I have sent a soon-to-be-trashed comment to Forbes.com for its exasperating practice of having a slide show to what seems like every story. The shows' information could be best told in one page; instead Little Malcolm forces his surfers to click click click through as many as ten slides -- all to expose his readers to ads. It is AT LEAST as bad as registrations, and shows a contempt for the reader. But I suppose it will continue so long as Little Malcolm boasts about his site's zillions of hits (and we'd guess the practice is meant to inflate those numbers too).

RICHIE-RICH MORONS.
