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.

The blithering ass Bill (Bzumbzumbzum) Buckley has lit a fire under conservatives by suggesting the Iraq war is a failure. We will admit we can't see it as a total success, despite the vast efforts of bloggers, but where does the father of history's greatest satirical novelist get his information? From the nightly news? Three years of operations in Iraq suggest ebb and flow, and now it's flowing, and now people are talking about civil war, and now Bill Buckleys must remind people why anybody paid attention to him in the first place, which a lack of big words and a speech defect might have rendered without reason.

And inevitably a SUPERDUPERMEGAGIGABLOGGER must explain him in 1,362 WORDS, and bring in Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson to sound erudite, and the Ottoman Empire too, when the truth is it may be just an ass being an ass.
