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.

IF IT'S BAD IT'S IN AD...AGE: The thousands of YESPERSONS who read Rance's rag will say, "Oh yes yes yes, we mustn't pay $2.6 million to run stupid ads during the Super Bowl right right right!", and then, when feeling the hot breath of a CEO who wants his LUXURY SUITE, will be happy to accomodate him -- not to mention THEMSELVES.

Which may be an increasingly rare phemomenon: GM cut its ad bills by $600 million, perhaps a sign of common sense in Detroit -- but then the head of its marketing feifdom says nope, which means GM's recovery may yet be down the road apiece.
