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.

People who would not find themselves caught dead in a church (even at their own funeral?) will hallelujah no end as our national chapter of the British Vicarage and Tea-Time Club appoints a woman executive director. Whether this has anything to do with God or not is another matter.

She hopes to concentrate on winning the young back to the church, citing Bronx musician Timothy Holder's "hip-hop Mass" and a Eucharist ceremony based on music by the pop group U2 as examples.

God? What's God? Is that the second coming of John Lennon or something?

"I imagine we will start by greeting each other and learning about each others' contexts," she said. "Unless we can build some kind of human relationship, it's very difficult to build the trust necessary for real dialogue...."

With this kind of mumbo-jumbo she could do PR for one of those CEOs who golfs all the time.
