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.

We don't like having to think of this stuff, but the BS Defender's lobby just did a survey (by an obscure research firm that did an earth-shattering poll proving that "e-mail users are overwhelmed with spam" -- and still links to it as "recent news") proving that nearly everybody agrees with everything the lobby says about the evil FCC. Jim Dyke's no dummy -- he doesn't mention his sugar daddies in the release. (Abramoffs are not dumb. EVIL, but not dumb.) This is about as honest as some damfool Republicans claiming to have "bipartisan" support for a cable-biz giveaway.

So much of America is choose-your-poison. On the one side: Babbitts who exclusively throw raging tantrums over bad language on TV, and reap big fundraising rewards. On the other, the greedmeisters of the money-minting broadcasting biz, and the blasé elitists who think their opponents deserve no say. MILLIONAIRE AND BUMS....
