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.

Here is one reason it is not worth blogging. We've no doubt a whole array of SUPERDUPERMEGAGIGABLOGGERS who referred to this photog's GUILT will say nothing. (We will not hold our breath awaiting MICHELLE THE LOUDMOUTH.) We confess to having joined the crowd, too -- it is too easy to join the crowd blogging -- if only because of a longstanding distrust of the hacks and their propensity to turn themselves into martyrs. If the photog was guilty of nothing it shows our government's total incompetence. That they held a member of the press for so long, though totally unjustified, is nonetheless an echo of the P-Ulitzer-Prize-winning end of an UNJUST WAR.
