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.

The Chief Scorekeeper. Here is another reason the death of the Third Coming of Christ rankles. We had this Chief Scorekeeper who arbitrarily decided Hillary was finished. At the time people criticized Him for deciding the election. Now these same people, who are suck-ups at heart, have collapsed in a pile of grief. Our politics stinks because news hacks must anoint Chief Scorekeepers, and many others whose love of country and the people is in serious doubt. The nationwide paroxysm of anguish proves yet again our superiors have no connection with the peons, and have no reason to connect.

And doesn't the term Chief Scorekeeper have the vague odor of the Mafia, and of desperados notching their guns?

Happily the international press has come to a different conclusion -- it seems hardly to have reported on the earth-shattering loss at all.
