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 The Paper of Re-CORD's four pages of screaming over Andrew Wyeth we wonder why PINCH can't declare bankruptcy. From what I can glean Paper is upset because Wyeth was "conservative" and voted for Republicans. I can't speak of his enigmatic portraiture in no small way because like so many people I find the traditional arts largely irrelevant; all we know about them is that a lot of stuff hangs in museums and some high-profile auction houses are quite able to swindle fortunes out of the Madoff crew for their no-talent clients. We do not deny Wyeth's great talent, but we do not deny that the art world has shriveled into fads and dollars, and is cut off from the real world it can no longer even pretend to hold the mirror to.
