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.

Reading of the "black hole" AIG has become gives us more than pause, but when we think of those outfits who deserve a steep recession local broadcasters rank with the SIV MAKERS at the top of the list. Outside of video police blotters they produce nothing, and they only produce their video police blotters because they're PROFIT CENTERS. Take them away and you have OPRAH!!!!! and JEOPARDY!!!!! and the increasingly wizened network schedules; take them away and you have infomercials. No, these outfits have been mints for too long; they're overdue to have their gold supply dry up.
