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.

Pundits keep telling us the Web is good for shame. Well we all know who went long on subprimes and related idiot investments; they've been shamed good and loud in the court of public opinion. Now is the time, we suggest, for Web denizens to shame the let-'em-eat-cake superfinanciers who are long oil, wheat, corn and other commodities, whose luck is making us broke; these are the nine-, ten- and eleven-digit misanthropes whose great-great-grandchildren's great-great-grandchildren will never suffer, but who are turning America upside-down by the ankles with their psychotic speculation. Yep, great wealth is bringing the malefaction back.
