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.

If I could ask some dweeb at the BUTTMAN INSTITUTE, "Did GUVMENT cause Enron?", he'd blab for five hours, producing reams of graphs and charts and reports and junk proving that GUVMENT was the cause, the SOLE cause, of that mammoth debacle.

"So," I'd say, "guvment DEFINITELY caused what happened at Enron."

"Oh absolutely," the dweeb would say.

"WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO RAN ENRON?"

But the FEES must be provoking, shall we say, CONFLICTS among die-hard free-en-ter-prise con-ser-va-tives. On the one hand we know laywers are the root of all evil, being DEMOCRATS. On the other hand evil can't be that bad when it's for free en-ter-prise.
