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.

When not agreeing that they are government -- and certainly they must be better than that; the word has such a...skunk smell -- the co-presidents of America agree that they are "rivals." Rivals of what? The stub, illegitimate government in Washington? Their readers? Certainly not each other; their righteous truth telling of late has a certain whiff of groupthink, as does so much from the news hacks. They sift through our secrets and say, "Trust us." But isn't this what they go into tirades of P-Ulitzer-winning fury over if the stub, illegitimate government in Washington does it? We suspect the one definitive way they bolster their confidence in themselves is simply by saying, "We make more than the occupant at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue." True. So did Ken Lay.
