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.

Con-SER-va-tives are making a thing over Vice-President Kinnock's words. Like so many hack pols he wouldn't know a clear sentence if it hit him on the head with its nouns. We think what Neil meant is that in an unpredictable world, a rogue leader might want to tweak The Messiah, especially early on, but he's up to the challenge, and don't mistake his youth of callowness. Enamored of his copious verbiage, however, and under the guidance of a God who has more than a bit of the nonjudgmental in Him, he almost made it sound as though The Lord might cave under pressure. We can't be sure of course -- we figure Boobs McKeating might think of firing off his six-shooters when threatened -- but that Neil has once again subjected The Lord to a tiny and manageable controversy says something about the state of political oratory, and the state of political egos.
