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.

The critics gathered here for the Television Critics Association annual summer press tour have found rare consensus: The TV mug this fall will be filled to overflowing with sweet shows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Even though I'm not sure there's a really great show, this is by far the best year cumulatively in my memory!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" says Tom Jicha, TV critic for the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Among the 125 or so critics at the press tour, Jicha is an elephant, attending his 25th.... [From watching so much TV he should be.]
Do not mistake the critics for a monolith....
I don't see no monolith.
