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.

Jacobs Media said, "The radio industry, led by the NAB, has been aggressive in fighting against the merger. And while we agree that satellite radio poses a threat to traditional AM/FM radio, there's nothing in the data that indicates that either service has significant momentum. In fact, there are signs that they have to fight to maintain the customer base that they already have."

Now give me a second, I have to think: three or four years ago there was this fellow named -- I'm guessing here, so I may not be right -- Horace...Stang! who got a big contract from XM and said he was going to change the face of radio. After a few press releases from DA POST!!!!! he disappeared. We do not blame the satradio "subscribers" for ditching on it.

Oh, now I know -- his name was Strong -- Harvey Strong! That's it!

Natch, the story doesn't even mention Strong.
