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.

Now that the excuse for a football game is ended, we can say this: all those MadAve madmen may think they're being oh so clever. But never forget: Advertising is big business's first line of offense, and it bolsters its attack by causing offense. Add P&Gs with their psychotic obsession to treat their customers as infants, sprinkle heavily ad-reliant companies like BANKS and CAR MAKERS into the mix, companies that are now WARDS of the STATE -- and pour into this festering stew the greatest Ponzi of them all -- and you have a recipe for a homicidal hatred of business. How much of the slow-motion disaster in our economy is people being tired of having other people scream at them what to buy?
