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 former ad-blurbist for Stale.com reviews a TV show about Red-Country high school cheerleaders, and gets a little -- giggly, as if she were scanning peculiar bacteria under a microscope. THE PAPER OF RE-CORD and Red Country may as well be in two different galaxies, which is just as well, as the Lord God Pinch is Himself from another planet.

And if, as the former ad-blurbist from Stale.com says, these cheerleaders spend a bit too much time on their hobby (as we might expect given Red Country spends a bit too much time on college football), we would note that writers at THE PAPER OF RE-CORD spend a bit too much time telling THE TRUTH.
