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.

A story like this is a sort of nyah-nyah-nyah at conservatives. We have our bloggers! So there! Fact is Josh Marshall and most of the SUPERDUPERMEGAGIGABLOGGERS are professional writers, and they've succeeded because they know how to network. And for all their alleged adeptness the SUPES still break a fraction of a stories as the dread MMMMMMMMMMSSSSSSSSSSMMMMMMMMMM. (Moreover both Talking Points and TPMMuckraker have seen recent audience declines, as with most of the SUPES.) And I am not impressed that our author says bloggers do such a fantastic job covering baseball. When I have to read 500 blogs to learn of a sport what do I gain except a sort of low-grade insanity? Why should I have to read 500 blogs? Can't you press clowns do your work right?
