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 don't know what Mr. My Business is My Business had in mind with this column. That America's changed? We need a zillionaire typist to tell us that? That Business can't admit that in the fundamentals we may be worse calls attention to this scribble's uselessness.

P. S. He was reviewing a book -- the same book that caused Little Malcolm's Rich to go haywire too. He frets that "populism" and "nostalgia" may slow the super-duper Friedmanian wealth-creation machine down. Please! Don't we have enough billionaire CEOs? What is with these pundits that they can't write straight?
