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.

Loath though we are to praise the overrated TINA!!!!! her new news ? site shows promise, regardless of what Stale.com thinks. It is certainly pleasing to the eye and if we could easily find most of its stuff elsewhere their were a few things we couldn't. For all the talk of the Web's supremacy few sites are really designed with the reader first; LALATimes.com and (yes) Cheapie Marketwatch are sticky precisely because most of their contents are easily reachable on the home page, with the Mess not far behind. A good Web site tries to minimize the scrolling. A better Web site, it goes without saying, tries to maximize the good writing.



By the way, are we the only ones to notice TINA!!!!!'s site's logo similarity to



a certain dying Philadelphia tabloid?
