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.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 4:
News isn't news when we don't report it.

We stopped trusting G000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000GLE not long after it took over PYRA LABS.
And unlike the PROFESSOR (or Jo-NAH), we've attempted to read BOTH LINKS. The first writer (the creator of Firefox) is annoyed with G000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000GLE's promotional "tips", which only seem to show up with certain searches; the second writer likens them to the disasters surrounding "Don't be evil"; the PROFESSOR takes that second story seriously, and Jo-NAH reads the PROFESSOR and takes him very seriously. Sometimes the Web is nothing more than a glorified Yente the Matchmaker -- another reason I try to stay away from SUPERDUPERMEGAGIGABLOGGERS.
