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.

RENDELLISM IN L. A.: EMI wants to sell its Capitol Records phonograph on Hollywood and Vine to a RENDELLIZER, and the city's up in arms. "We have to be really careful to make sure we don't transform Hollywood into a city of restaurants and lounges and high-end residential," says a developer. What is this guy talking about? Isn't RENDELLISM supposed to turn every center city into a superexpensive snob zone that creates jobs for the waiters, janitors and maids who'll turn a city into a growth engine for the 21st-century economy? Besides L. A. gave EMI a bribe to stay in LALA. I say, TURN IT INTO RENDELLMINIUMS!

Pfffffffffffffffffffft!

Capitol Records, one of the few record companies to be based on the West Coast, has included on its roster Frank Sinatra, the Beatles, the Beastie Boys and Radiohead.

We can be sure from this list the hack had to throw in Blue out of guilt feelings, and we're sure her tastes tend more to Radiohead. News hacks are such philistines.
