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 morning a thought occurred to us: If the Strib is in danger of bankruptcy, we'd expect THE BLOGGERS OF THE MILLENNIUM to start making noises about buying it, maybe LOUDLY suggesting Richard Mellon Scaife would help. To be sure this would be like Arianna plugging a...telling us Boobs McKeating didn't vote for Dubya, but it would also serve the annoying purpose of getting their ovexposed names back into circulation. But make no mistake: if they took over they'd inflict the exact same BAD its former proprietors did, only instead of knee-jerk lockstep KLUMPH! KLUMPH! KLUMPH! KLUMPH! hard-core leftism we'd get knee-jerk lockstep KLUMPH! KLUMPH! KLUMPH! KLUMPH! hard-core rightism. Make no mistake -- and make no mistake that again, the public would lose.
