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.

Today saw the Atlanta Braves' last game of the season -- and also, very sadly, the last Braves broadcast on TBS. We followed them regularly during their height in the nineties, and no announcing team had more attitude -- in the good sense -- than Skip, Don, Pete and Chip. Of course with SELIGISM slowly becoming a second-tier sport and the TWXSTERS casting off all things MOUTH their time was foreshortened, but thankfully PEOPLE WARNER (when not placing ads on game shows) will pay up to $11 million a game for an LCS, which will require shaking a few more customers upside down. Unfortunately, they can't say they'll have had fun in the shakedown, as at least we did watching the Braves. So long, fellows. Without you SELIGISM becomes ever more midgetized.
