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.

"Buyers are saying, 'I can't wait five years. I could be dead,' " said Allan Domb of Allan Domb Real Estate, who has been contacted by developers about taking over their projects....
WHICH IS EXCELLENT NEWS FOR THOSE SEEKING OUT APARTMENTS:
Last year, Domb said, he had 55 high-end rentals available; this year, 13. And he says he's as much to blame as anyone else:
"Investors who had held on to condos and rented them out since the 1980s gave them to me to sell over the last three years."
