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.

Speaking of America's Center of Pointless Oneupmanship, its denizens have been engaged in a vigorous debate all day over Boobs McKeating's graduation rank in the Naval Academy. You'd think the Web site of a rag founded by Bill "Bach B-Minor Mass" Buckley, who said he'd rather be governed by the first 200 (or 2,000, depending on the source) names in the Boston phone book than by the Harvard faculty, would have instantly recognized the debate's irrelevance, but there is no telling people who work so hard at being themselves irrelevant.
