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.

ROBERT "OVER THE" HILBURN LIVES! Indeed Ann does him one better...two: she writes so obliquely you're scarcely aware she's discussing a bunch of tantrum-throwing slobs all throwing the same tantrum -- that obliqueness may be a way of trying to evade certain readers' radar -- and she writes so lengthily you're scarcely aware she's writing.

Well, anything to give the clerks, interns and customer-service reps a bad day is always worth it -- especially since you're telling THE TRUTH.

The next time we encounter such logorrhea we will simply call its author ROBERTA "OVER THE" HILBURN.
