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.

CHARLIE RANGEL [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
was just on TV denouncing Hugo Chavez for showing up in Rangel's country, city, and right now even his congressional district and criticize President Bush. That's a job for Americans, Rangel says.
In other words, HE'S TICKED CHAVEZ IS TREADING ON HIS TURF, STEALING HIS THUNDER!!!!!

Dammit, I'm not member #1 of the Charlie Rangel Fan Club -- but I'm definitely NOT member #1 of the PETERICIA TRAVERS FAN CLUB either.
And NEITHER ARE OTHERS.
