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.

Posted 9:07 AM by Gene

I have had it with blogging -- and Blogger.com. On a day I couldn't get through for hours while the damfools Larry and Sergey wallowed in a thirty-point stock jump, and further being blocked off from the permanently-Beta version, I've decided I'm switching blog services, but it doesn't help that there is no decent alternative, and that I don't know what I'm doing.

I'm also cutting down on my posting. I'm tired of electronically banging my head, and of issuing smart one-liners that nobody reads. I can't entirely give up on it -- blogging is my tenuous connection to the world -- but I am tired of the lack of attention too.

P. S. This article documents a numbing repeat of what happened LAST YEAR. Happily Larry and Sergey have lots of money. They needn't do a thing.
