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.

Here in brief is why I hate big business: A company in these here parts that named a stadium for itself is moving offices out of town. It claims it is not moving its corporate HQ, but this is mere semantics; the $20 million CEO's moving, presumably to be closer to his golf game, and definitely so he won't have to pay our city's wage tax. Then a spokespoop comes along and insists the company has an undying fealty to our city, which reminds me why PR is high on my s-list. Then I get angry because so many companies like GE BANCORP AND REALTY, which shrieked out of cities everywhere to avoid politically correct races, are now lying down and playing dead doing PC. Business, politicians, the press, show-biz and academe seem engaged in a fight to see who can commit the greatest affronts, and to screw the greatest number of people in doing so.
