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.

Speaking of St. Warren, we resent stories like this because the hacks are trying to TELL US SOMETHING, in boldface, caps and italics. What they are trying to TELL US is that women should be the fathers and men should be the mothers. Such occasional scribbling vaguely smells of feminist man-hatred and a certain gloating, and it's often anecdotal. That it appears on FATHER'S DAY definitely TELLS US SOMETHING. In short, it's scribbling with an agenda, and news hacks have boasted of their superiority to their retarded readers often enough. Such condescension is further offensive because its whole point is to try to turn a minor into a major, and screw us up. How many stories have celebrated graffiti? And vagrants? And tattooing? And now they're everywhere, and normal. Sorry St. Warren, this is one reason the news isn't worth paying for anymore, for all we get is the same old recyclables.
