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.

"While I have been comfortable being a Republican, my Party has not defined who I am. I have taken each issue one at a time and have exercised independent judgment to do what I thought was best for Pennsylvania and the nation. Since my election in 1980, as part of the Reagan Big Tent, the Republican Party has moved far to the right. Last year, more than 200,000 Republicans in Pennsylvania changed their registration to become Democrats." SENATOR SPECTER, THAT WAS OPERATION CHAOS! A LARGE PART OF THAT WAS JUST A GAME!! A LARGE PART OF THAT WAS A TRICK!!! IT WAS OPERATION CHAOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [Chaotic overemphasis added]
Indeed it was such a successful trick that all 200,000-plus came ROARING BACK to WIN THE STATE FOR BOOBS McKEATING!!!!!
I'm thinking a seven-letter Yiddishism that rhymes with BUCK.
