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 always harp on how advertisers waste our money -- first off because it is OUR money, just as taxes are our money, and because BIGMEDIA represent at least as much government as government, given how many are in their thrall -- but it is clear nothing will stop these clowns from wasting it. At an alleged "low $900,000s" a thirty what do these idiots get for their money financing SLIME? There are so many layers of management between the schmoozers of MadAve and the CEO that hardly anybody knows, and Corporate America wastes so much money on its trinkets hardly anybody need know; what's more the CEO can always be easily led into spending any amount so his whole executive council can schmooze; you never know when it might come in handy at the golf course. And to annoying deathly repetition I say it's about schmoozing because it's not about selling; the sales message is entirely lost in the expense and in the compulsion to schmooze, and when someone is pert enough to emphasize the sales pitch it's either something annoying or counterproductive.

I HATE BIGMEDIA! I HATE CORPORATE AMERICA!
