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.

Speaking further of AHTSJournal links, we haven't a clue who Justin Davidson is, but some mystical force has imbued him with the ability to see two look-alike buildings and call them different. It wouldn't be so bad except that more than one of these immortalities usurped thoroughly decent buildings. We hardly know the difference between "Greenberg Farrow’s impressively awful tower" and those superb "new 42nd Street studios" except the one looks like a descendant of a Morse Electrophonic disco stereo, and the other seems to have been designed using business cards. But Justin -- sees things differently. "Most architecture in any age is crap, and today’s crap isn’t as bad as yesterday’s." In other words, crap is better than ever. It's this sort of typing -- we won't guess how many nights this clown stayed awake, unless he has a preternatural ability to type -- that gets bloggers to think, "Gee! I can do it better than this guy!" Unfortunately, most don't work for magazines.
