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.

In a mutually fatuous applause line The Messiah and Boobs endorsed ST. WARREN for the Treasury. This is a bad idea because 1. His Holiness got His financial acumen from investing in 1965. In how many financial ads have we seen, "Past performance is not a guarantee of future performance"? 2. All His investments would pose a huge conflict-of-interest problem. How would He sequester His assets? 3. Just because a man's a Richie Rich wouldn't make him good at Treasury. Look at the sad last years of Andrew Mellon. 4. His Holiness is 78, and though it is not clear if He is mortal, He is old even for a God. 5. Right now the financial center of gravity is at the Fed, and we can only hope Ben accrued the right lessons from all his Depression studies.
