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 of links in AHTSJournal, it has come up with two articles that make us hope for a depression. We can't tell the difference between Damien Coons and Jeff Hirst (are those their names?); they're both practical jokers, experts of kitsch, rampant no-talents, and zillionaires. We don't expect the Enronners and Lehman Brothers-style rocket scientists to know the difference between art and and a hole in the ground -- there frequently isn't -- but they've so invested their fortunes into these hacks that the time is long overdue for a comeuppance; but because the comeuppance will most likely involve those they've regally shafted, meaning us, it may hurt us more than Damien and Jeff.
