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.

One reason we can't shake RENDELLISM is its PR-laden addiction to movees. Several years back some BIIIIIIG movee star promised to build a studio in South Philadelphia which would bring in much-need jobs for janitors and waiters and the like, and naturally we haven't heard of it since. Such success does not prevent struggling towns like Plymouth, Mass. from engaging in pipe dreams and wasting untold TAX moneys on municipal preening. We would like to return to Plymouth in, say, five years, when half the officials proposing this boondoggle get kicked out and the resulting white elephants rot in the Plymouth sun. Best to stick with fake Pilgrims.
