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.

Stale.com is cute again: One of its typists likens Facebook to cell phones. This comes just after the National Safety Council proposes a nationwide ban on cell-phone use while driving. We would not be entirely facetious to propose a nationwide ban on cell phones in public transit, on sidewalks, or anywhere else people can run their mouths. We can see his point of its alleged social usefulness -- but to get there you pretty well have to be connected anyway. If Facebook could find me a girlfriend I might join. I fear all it would find me are girlfriends from PRON sites. And then there are all the other unwanted friends. No thank you, ST. WARREN -- for now.

P. S. Despite this brilliant suggestion Kaplan, Inc. finished below $400 today.
