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.

Some of the most highly partisan and irritating news-hack propaganda centers around public-opinion "polls." This press release merely repeats the canard that the Republican Party is dead, which in turn is but a covert expression of the news biz' glee, and the contempt for conservatives that The Daily Kaplan famously expressed in its poor-uneducated-easy-to-command gag. Give me the day of the party rags, of Horace Greeley and The Log Cabin, of papers that called themselves the Democrat and the Republican for a purpose, when news hacks lied, lied boldly and honestly, and didn't give a damn about it.
