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 latest con-SER-va-tive strategy is to say that Dubya was a good foreign policy president, therefore he was a good president. True he had to do what had to be done, with terrorists, in Afghanistan, and, yes, in Iraq; but the idealism was botched in the execution thanks to the loudmouths who made themselves indispensable, like RUMMY and Gen. Fogbound, and by Dubya's own ceaseless pondering as to, say, whether the midget of North Korea was a terrorist. In the end, foreign policy is only part of a presidency, and Dubya swelled our Federal Register even as he crawled into a cave in the end days over our economy, letting more incompetents rule over him. Yes, maybe history can "clear" Dubya, but it will be a long time coming.
