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.

When The Daily Kaplan broke the Hillary news we didn't realize we were going straight CW. We called her "strong", neglectful of her very chameleon-like nature -- or rather a nature crossing a chameleon with a Cheshire cat. We were thinking more of Maggie, who was a Hillary of the right minus a lecherous husband. Chris, who tries a little too hard sometimes to be the iconoclast, does make a good case against her, for what she was; but unless your name is Henry the K or Gen. Fogbound a secretary of state may not have that much latitude to be devious.
