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.

If SLIMES think they can bring back the TV biz with 3-D they should remember what that forgotten autocrat "Gen." David "Titanic" Sarnoff once said in a fit of megalomania, when he likened his biz to "a plumber laying a pipe." This is a new super-high-tech version of the same old plumbing, delivering the same centuries-old sewage. People may be tired of the sewage.

“For 3-D to become impactful in the homes of the world, the people that make money are going to have to subsidize it,” Hill said, referring to the TV set makers, who would benefit from selling another round of TV upgrades to consumers.

I've got a BETTER idea, Dave: LET -- oh, you know the punchline.
