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.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 4:
News isn't news when we don't report it.

Tom Cruise's production company, ousted last week in an unusually public dispute with Paramount Pictures, has signed a two-year financing deal with an investment partnership headed by Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder.
PREDICTION: Snyder has money troubles with both. How can he finance a candle burning at both ends? By the way Dan, Couch Jumper isn't 22 anymore.
I like the name too -- First & Goal. After a few flubs it may have to be called Fourth & Long.
P. S. We forgot: he controls Six Flags, another money maker. He was going to be the next Walt Disney. We're waiting, Uncle Walt.
