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.

"We're losing, but all isn't lost." Glad to hear you say that, LittleJon. We know your first instinct would have been to omit those last four words, but if we do that we look like the ossified superliberal nose-in-the-airs everyone knows we are, not that we care if people complain -- heck, Mr. Mark still thinks the Koran-in-the-toilet story was okay; hell, we could justify the HITLER DIARIES -- and, as we've said before, thank God (meaning ST. WARREN) for coffee tables. The problem is, LittleJon, with such stories there's a fine line between realism and hoping. We gave up thinking your profession is realistic a long time ago, and we sense that, deep down inside, it's hoping.

So if an Iraqi force of -- INSURGENTS blows up a dirty bomb in one of our cities, your biz won't entirely be able not to take credit.

At least you used ONE cover this time, by the way. After the flag in the trash can and ANNIE we're paying PERMANENT ATTENTION.
