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.

Happily they were not only among the best sellers of all time, but a literary masterpiece. On the other hand Slick and his ex' -- er, SENATOR's largesse reflects a crass age. Certainly this vaudeville act has nothing worth saying other than what a pompous egomaniacal CEO can show off the next day to unfortunate subordinates. Whether Mr. Dyslexia can repeat Slick's Guinness Book performance remains to be seen, but he has a decided edge: not one word will have to be his.
