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.

1. The Ranceoids hint GM may try to save Saturn by getting a foreign auto maker to use its dealer network for distribution. We wonder how that helps beyond the margins. If GM's going to save such a brand shouldn't it just remember its founding mission of making the best car it can, and let the market decide? Heck it's OUR money now.
2. We remember how LEGENDARY WELCH wanted to turn Today into a paid infomercial. It would seem GE BANCORP NETWORK has a solution right under its noses: let all the people hawking products outside its studio parade through for four hours, then charge the companies for the airtime.
3. Can Buying Blind Save Web Ads?
Why not? Buying deaf, dumb and blind made television a powerhouse.
