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.

SLOPPY: The Monitor says our "public discourse" has reached a "new low", linking to a 1998 opinion piece to prove it, and it quotes from Romy's think tank in the fourth graf, and it goes on to cite "a spokesman for Media Matters" and "[t]he CONSERVATIVE media watchdog group Accuracy in Media." (Hint hint?)

This alone should be argument against it (not to mention that there has scarcely been a time since Thomas Paine without blaggards, and at least he could write) but we're tired of always having to turn down the volume on these loudmouths, and we don't even have a volume control.
