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.

I hate turning to partisan sources, but I have repeatedly said The One has no sense of humor, and now we are getting firm intimations that we, in all our wisdom, have elected a cross between Tricky Dick and Jimmah. Yes, he's only two months in, with plenty of time to recover, but a man with the leadership skills and calmness the press deceptively imputed to him would have taken charge by now. What is worse, he tries making up for his robotic style with an out-of-control mouth. Even his PC sops (as in closing Gitmo and banning bullets and allowing unlimited abortions for stem-cell research) aren't working. Granted Sen. Keating would not have been much better. But could he have been much worse?
