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.

Once I made fun of Prof. Krugman as a knee-jerk left-wing idiot. I have not had reason to do so lately. In his latest column he suggests banking be made "boring". While this is an excellent notion I further suggest other businesses be made boring. Too many businesses have become exciting as they learned to please the inner megalomaniac. Obviously banking was the first, but it wasn't the last. I think we respected other aspects of American life more when they were boring. Excitement does not seem to have done our pocketbooks or our souls much good.
