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.

There has been much Tarzanian chest thumping over LALA's decision to choose a Hollywood producer as an honorary opinion editor. We have not followed this figuring this is more onanism from a biz that can only pile it on. If these cretins who are seeing their circulation frigate leaking from all directions are so concerned about conflicts of interest why do they put out non-stop PR as show-biz coverage? This is the sort of conflict of interest that should get editors mad: instead, they self-righteously scream, and fool no one with their pretend anguish as the vessel takes on more water.

More to the point, what disqualifies a Hollywood producer from being an opinion editor so long as the paper puts him on a leash and clears him of any conflict of interest? We've seen worse from "professionals."
