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 is no slip of the tongue, or a mere ham-fisted attempt at oratory. Because WINNING ISN'T EVERYTHING -- IT'S...THE ONLY THING, a coach is correct to liken a loss to Pearl Harbor or 9/11; it is treason to his skool, his fans, his ALUMNI -- and treason (especially treason to the ALUMNI) is punishable by a good dose of self-inflicted INFAMY.

We need not go just to Hollywood or the luxury suites to know why America's head isn't screwed on right; we need go to the Taj Mahals of professional college sport, and the richly appointed inner sanctums of its CEOs.
