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.

Four pages of blah from the great blah dispenser SI about how YouTube will CHANGE THE WORLD. HOLLYWOOD IS OVER!!!!!!!!!! Prediction: In 25 years the same tyrants who rule over our media now will rule over it then. Oh yes there may be one or two funny names, but the tyrannies haven't lasted this long without adapting. PEOPLE WARNER started as a newsrag and a movie studio. VIACON started as a movie studio and a second string radio network. ESPNCORP was created in part from a spinoff of NBC. They were powerful then, they'll be powerful in the future, and the AMAZING NEW POPULIST MEDIA will still be at the fringes because 500 million TV channels will have no audience -- something the bigmedia tyrannies won't have to worry about, especially as their sugar daddies on MADAVE will still be showering them with dough, albeit in a slightly different way.
