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.

Some mainstream moderate group called QUESTION or whatever is staging what the WAPOST will tomorrow call a million-strong march against the Viet -- Iraq war, and some typist named Steve takes the time to quote from a former attorney general under LBJ, being exceptionally careful though not to note his links to QUESTION or whatever, but he's a mainstream moderate too so that's okay.

We came to this raw propaganda via "Most Viewed Articles", which we noticed while reading the Romy-linked obit of a WaPost.com editor named William C. Grant. Looking at his picture and reading the obit we thought, this was a pretty good guy. We only wish there were more pretty good guys at places like the WaPost, which might prevent some pretty bad intentions.
