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.

Lewis LapHAM, the tiny former ediTOR of something called Harper's, has thrown a muddled tantrum over ST. TIMOTHY. Harpers.org is a virtually dead site and the screed isn't online, but we'd guess given the prominence of Ronald Reagan's name here it has to do with the ST. being some sort of Republican (never mind He was a Democrat). But the ST. was a toady -- a man does not attend DR. EVIL's funeral without being one -- and the excess of His now forgotten last rites attested to it, yet when a shrimp like this says it no one believes him. Since he raises another name we'll put it in far fewer words: ST. TIMOTHY was Charlie Rose with an attitude.
