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.

Here's something else for news hacks to spin: disapproval of the hacks is far less among its true target audience (i.e., Democrats). So that means we must be doing a pretty good job, that FOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!News and other EEEEEEEEEEEEEEVIL biased organizations have made enemies out of Republicans. But then who needs them so long as we have our target audience?

Of course it might also say that our biases appeal to Democrats. We suspect if the news hacks were predominantly conservative a mere reversal of the result would obtain. QED.
