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.

We know all BIGMEDIA is as ecstatic over the Drunken Slob's return as it is mournful over the Millionaires' Strike, but one consideration seems to have eluded most of the partygoers: what kind of RATINGS will SLOB rake in? We'd bet between the bad PR and the renewed total obsequiousness of his contemptible idiot friends like SCREAMER Carville and Ken Felatta it won't do as well as BIGMEDIA's hoping. That Citadel's putting him on a 21-SECOND delay does not inspire confidence either (although we've no doubt this booming radio firm will find a way around it, especially when The American Society of Willfully Ignorant Advertisers chimes in). Of course there is no denying the stupidity of RADIO's audience, given that it actually LIKES commercials, but we remain skeptical.
