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.

The British invented RENDELLISM before Eddie. Under Labour governments that socialized inefficiency and Maggie who engaged in a crash course in deindustrialization the UK had no industry left, so it built up FINANCE, erecting nice neat shiny structures in an old industrial neighborhood where Ph.Ds. invented the arcane financial instruments that would eventually doom it. (Heck, the lout Phil Gramm's starting to think they didn't work.) Even the tax dollars it alleged to have raised were a mirage. Today Britain faces a depression with nothing to fall back on (and when PILLHEAD's sock puppet Mark says so it's so). First Di; now, the destruction of the Empire is complete.
