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.

There is much torturous posturing on both sides. We must have standards, and we trust our military men to abide by them. But there's no real way of knowing whether we're torturing people unless someone does an investigative report or decides to be a hero, or unless some COURAGEOUS CONGRESSPOOP wants to make an issue of it. Practically speaking I doubt it will have much impact, even as a PR statement. And if heaven forfend we are attacked again, it is highly unlikely people will be holier-than-thou about interrogations. We must say, though, any Republican who's a favorite of NEWS HACKS simply CANNOT BE TRUSTED.
