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.

THOSE WHO LIVE BY TV: We are not surprised that what was once professional hockey has lousy ratings and thus is ripe for another cancellation, even with Superman as commissioner. Figure skating is another thing, as that was definitely a province of the CEO luxury-suite stuffers, and as its audience was mostly female and uncritical; even it seems to have found other distractions, perhaps because like most things that rely on cultivating personalities it can't seem to make any. The decline of so many sports is the mere byproduct of so many TV viewers getting fed up with the medium's GENIUS and the constant hectoring from MADAVE, neither of which is letting up, idiot talk of VIRAL VIDEOS notwithstanding.
