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.

Martin Peretz of the liberal New Republic is also an uncritical supporter of the Israeli government, and the Jersualem Post called the New Republic "the single most favorable American voice on Israel." This bias informs every opinion expressed in the New Republic. For example, it opposed Contra aid until the Sandinista government showed sympathy for the PLO. Ron Paul may be a hysterical crank, but this, I'm afraid, has the faint singe of truth.(Via Commentary Magazine's Contentions blog)
