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.

Kansas City, Mo.: The local paper has started a new feature on the editorial page where they title columnists "From the Right" and "From the Left." They have you listed "From the Left." [Actually, it's "On the Left."] While I can see Michelle Malkin and Jonah Goldberg fitting the "From the Right," I guess I considered you "From the Left." Is this another attempt to label everything and everyone no matter what?
David S. Broder: I was not aware of the labeling. I resist being labeled, and I will so inform the Kansas City paper.
Where does Sominex fit?
Pardon, it has a label.
