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.

"I don't want to be the dummy that says, 'I don't know how to do that,' " says country star Gretchen Wilson from her Wilson County home, which sits on 400 acres they call Wilson Mountain. "And I certainly don't want her to think you can be this successful without an education."

These are among the first reasons given for why, at 34, the "Redneck Woman" finished high school.

Ah, but you can be successful! Lots of famous people who did good flunked something. They weren't "dummies". That they succeeded was all the more testimony to their spirit. I think we do overvalue the worth of an EHDYUKAYSHUN.
