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.

This singularly annoying story that The Econowiz' publisher is whispering sweet nothings into THE 100 MOST IMPORTANT POLITICAL BLOGGERS' ears before publication (let me guess: The Professor, The Bloggers of the Millennium, B. S. Defender, the Volokhheads, Kos, Joshua, Mr. Mellerdrammer, etc., etc., etc.) confirms, as if we need confirming, that bigbloggers and BIGMEDIA are one, and that both sides' principal activity is backscratching for publicity. Just because somebody is on an INFLUENTIAL list doesn't mean he's any good. Look at the TWXSTERS' listorrhea; look at ForbesList's. Yes, we're mad because after nearly five years hardly anybody reads us, but dammit what is so awe-inspiring about these chosen few that a rag with an inflated opinion of itself (largely brought on by BUGMEISTER BILL stumbling over it) has to get their attention? Wouldn't it be more honest just to pay them, the sort of thing that may happen more than we may care to know?
