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.

1. America has at least four cable news networks too many. The Mess started out as a gimmick, and it will no doubt serve as a GE BANCORP NETWORK NEWS placeholder until the IMAGINEERING GOODTHINGS BOYS can come up with another dubious use -- like the Woody Woodpecker channel they all but threatened when they bought Universal. 2. We'd bet HHHWWWALTER CRRRONKITE JR. winds up at FOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!NEWS. Don't laugh. RUPERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! may figure not only does He get good press (and the RUPE!!!!!!!!!!! craves for it as much as Dubya), He can goose ratings by moving this unfunny Benny-Allen feud to His airspace. That failing we'd bet KO winds up on Headline "News" for a half-hour of attitude, or perhaps the Comedy Central News Network, where he can fill out the line-up. That failing there's always Huff'n'Puff, or The Liar, who will come through with their own virtual network where he can scream until butter finally melts in his mouth.
We have not heard the LAST from HHHWWWALTER, much as we may like to.
