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.

What is the purpose of Davos? So far as we can tell it's for self-important cretins to schmooze. No less important is for said self-important cretins to lift a leg, make a speech someone else wrote, lower the leg, and leave. Among the self-important cretins there will be B. S. DEFENDER, who may spend his whole visit busily looking for consulting work -- when he isn't having an intern type about YouTube. Apparently one thing B. S. and his gang have been telling the attendees is to blog along with them. If most of blogging serves no purpose, think of blogs devoted to boilerplate and buzzwords. Isn't the "Webosphere" already crowded with nothing?
