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.

Every day on the way in to work I pass two CHEAP CHANNEL billboards. Currently they carry ads for a social-service agency and a "criminal defense attorney." As you may guess it's not a nice neighborhood. But then you might guess it's not a nice neighborhood because CHEAP CHANNEL put the ads there. I can imagine what ol' LOWSY MAYS thought of the inner city -- the same he thought about classical and jazz, which enabled him to buy and merge and chase people away from the radio.

Of course LOWSY's empire's new owners have a trick up their nasty sleeves: LED billboards. I can see them at night in residential neighborhoods. Oh well, this neighborhood doesn't have to worry, so long as the CHEAP sells it social-service agencies and "criminal defense attorneys."

P. S. CHEAP and GOODTHINGS ENTERTAINMENT are putting ads in New York taxis. That should pay for the LBO!
