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.

And in other news of Modern America's Business Might, SAMMY GLICKMAN and the GREATEST INDUSTRY KNOWN TO MAN are about to administer to our Congresspoops the equivalent of a two-by-four to a mule. This is old-fashioned barnstorming lobbying at its worst: send in the first-string offensive squad and have them pummel their way to favorable treatment that hurts the rest of us. SAMMY is deaf, dumb and blind to the contempt in which many Americans hold his beloved trade, not least in several pocketbook issues, which with this two-by-four means a healthy dose of onerous DRM pushing. It may work with the lobbyist-puppets; it may not work with their putative masters, the VOTERS.
