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.

"The transcendent theme of the new season is that the quality is one of the best in years, and quantitatively it's one of the most disappointing in years," says ad-buying chief John Rash of Campbell Mithun in Minneapolis.

"The very nature of what made the season so compelling — ambitious and addictive serialized dramas — has made many viewers adopt none of them because their media menu is so full."

When MEDIA BUYERS talk like MOVIE AD-BLURBISTS, complete with SENTENCES THAT MAKE NO SENSE, their continued misuse of OUR MONEY is assured.

And alas, it's a can-you-top-this among these idiots, as witness this blarney.
