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.

The Paper of Re-CORD won five of today's fourteen jernalism P-Ulitzers, with The Daily Kaplan winning a sixth for a tantrum-throwing liberal colyumnist, proof that if the rest of America's nooz biz went out of biz, with only these rags and the ASSPress and all the Web sites that rely upon them surviving, not only wouldn't most people notice, but it wouldn't change the biz very much.

P. S. at 6:45 p. m. We looked over the list and didn't notice: Two awards for KAPLAN, INC.! JonBoy won the P-Ulitzer for maga -- for biography! Call it an honorary magazine prize. And please, P-Ulitzer "judges", don't tell us it's because he's such a brilliant biographer.

Strutting like Henry Lu -- whoever it was that founded Zeitgeist?

By the way, what happened to those Web awards you promised? Sounds like the same old dead-tree media to me.
