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.

How exasperating to have to read sinister nuances into EVERY article regardless of how pure they are. This guy from the former home of Anonymous says The One should speak boldly to the public, which is true enough; and that Dubya hid under the Oval Office desk, also true enough; but Slick shows the danger of letting your mouth run the White House, and though The One may not be overexposed now he sets up the chance he may be so later; and given how effusive SUPERADAM!!!!!!!!!! was to the First Lady (or should that be the Other One), and given this rag's history of obsequious political hacks, it is hard not to try to spot the wrong in a piece even when it's right.
