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.

SIX OF ONE: Someone should let National Review and its Web site have it for making conservative PC out of show-biz junk. But the answer isn't liberal culture, which reeks in a different way. A piece like this, and especially with its heavily ironic snideness, is quite disheartening because it makes you believe you can think in one, and ONLY one, political way, with checkmarks confirming your prejudices in a long row. As I've said before, I am conservative; but I can't stand RUSH, I can't stand HANNITY, I can't stand SNIDELY WHIPLASH, I can't stand the NO-SPIN SPIN SPIN SPIN SPIN SPIN SPIN ZONE and RUPERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and the Wall Street Journals Conservative Edition and other MOVEMENT heroes. Why must we show mindless allegiance either way?
