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.

I came across The Hotline's Blogometer (more on how when the time comes) and I am discouraged. If you aren't a BIG-NAME BLOGGER you're done for. It's as if whoever compiles this has a direct link to Jeff Greenfield. I know what MR. MELLERDRAMMER and SAM LITTLE and MS. TRAVERS and KOS will say from a thousand miles and a bad modem off. I really think the time has come for new voices -- which discourages me because I'll have been at this for FIVE YEARS next month to no effect. And I have yet to bother sending my stuff to ARIANNA!!!!! for fear I'll be ignored or get a form e-mail. I'm tired of being the punchline for my own joke of a blog. I just wish somebody out there would say a kind word for me -- although it's tough when your words echo in a vacuum.

I've gotten four hits today too, which isn't exactly a pat on my back.
