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.

Here's a rather bold irony: almost forty years ago (!) the HWWWWALTER CRRRRONKITES got exquisitely giddy as in their preparation for a P-Ulitzer-winning end to AN UNJUST WAR they gleefully reported on a riot that got catastrophically out of control. Last night there was another conflagration at Kent State, at first "marked by drinking and general hanging out on College Avenue" (it figures), and while the stupids made bonfires with mattresses and pulled down street signs and police became testy and fired rubber bullets nobody got hurt, which makes us wonder what would have happened nearly forty years ago if people had known what they were doing.

''The flames were filling the street, like 15 feet high, and kids were throwing furniture on it and hanging from trees and screaming 'KSU' over and over again,'' she said.

Well, at least nothing about pigs.
