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.

"(Franchise restaurants) are critically important, more so now than ever," says Hutch Parker, vice chairman of McDonald's. "In a market that is getting increasingly cluttered with third-party restaurants -- often financed by hedge funds and other sources of financing -- franchise restaurants cut through the clutter, courtesy of their unique relationship to the customers, and have a currency around the world that very few other kinds of restaurants do." OooooOOOOOoooooh, the guy's actually a vice-chairman of FOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, and he was talking about TENTPOLES!
