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.

What is more useless than a vote for "best" blog? Not just because we have as much selection as with presidential candidates -- worse as the same names always come up -- but as Jo-NAH's brilliant post makes clear it's all about ballot-box stuffing. Ever since SAM LITTLE got his maniacs to proclaim him Best Blog West of Japip or wherever it was we have paid no mind to such contests -- and because there's so much to pay no mind to on the Web we're coming to ask whether we shouldn't pay any mind to the Web.

We're sour too because something has recently interfered with our ability to get hits. So much of the Web's traffic patterns are just plain arbitrary.
