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.

This is one story that may resist the snappy retort, and I probably shouldn't talk so much as I'm -- close to the situation, but as our methods of detecting bad stuff in drinking water improve (brought on in no small way by federal mandates), of course more bad stuff would show up in trace amounts -- and as people think they can pill themselves to good health, ever the more so. Common sense would dictate that less-than-homeopathic levels of drugs in drinking water would have the same effect as homeopathy, but given how Americans medicate themselves and the stellar rep of Big Pharma we may not be talking common sense here.
