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.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 4:
News isn't news when we don't report it.

We are astonished and saddened to learn that Edie Adams, the very very comely and talented singer and actress and the devoted wife of Ernie Kovacs until his dreadful freak death in a Corvair in 1962, has died. But for Mrs. Kovacs the morons at ABC would long ago have erased his famed 1961 specials.
By the way, she played Daisy Mae in the original Broadway production of Li'l Abner. Nuf said.
P. S. Well, not nuf said: Julie Newmar and Tina Louise were also in that show. Siggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....
