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.

Peggy "BS" Noonan wears two masks. Through the one mask she is the good, stalwart, lockstep Republican, propounding the cause through THICK candidates and thin. Through the other is a thoroughgoing insider cynic, despising the same people she touts in print, sticking the middle finger to her readers, boldly dishonest. The thing is if BS believed the election were "over" she'd have been better off confessing to it on the strength of her convictions, whatever those are; now she comes off as just another zillionaire Beltway two-timing sleazeball, who can't and shouldn't any longer be trusted. Frauds like BS make us wish the whole blasted press would go bankrupt, even as troubles like The New York Sun's demonstrate the mortal dangers of our wishes.
