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.

Why is it when I read a story like this on how the financial-services biz is trying to crack down on strip clubs, I don't feel good? Possibly because it's being done for mere PC reasons -- to appease women ACTIVISTS. (We certainly wouldn't expect NEWS HACKS to approve otherwise.) Why can't we come out and say the whole "adult entertainment" racket (as USAOKAY!!!!! must call it) SMELLS -- with its organized crime ties, its sleaze, its woman-abuse, and the flat out fact that, no matter how much money the women make on it, and no matter how much the bigwigs rationalize it, it's a SKANKY trade, often literally.
