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.

In the spirit of truthfulness and humility we will confess that apparently the Napoleon of the Nine Fingers did not raise the middle finger as had been bruited about, and he seemed in a good frame of mind. Nonetheless we do note that this jocular titan has a thin skin for hecklers and had a "deputy" break the law by confiscating a recorder and erasing the contents of one of his majestic speeches; he wants to be a public figure without being one. We're disappointed in that; this Finger is as close to a firebrand as our stubbed-cigarette age will allow, and he does himself no favors with his magisterially silly tantrums.
