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.

Sorry NO-SPIN SPIN SPIN SPIN SPIN SPIN, The Paper of Re-CORD is NOT going out of business. For all the hopeful talk of bankruptcy from con-SER-va-tives its parent still has properties to sell; it still commands a nationwide paying audience of a million; it has a maniacally devoted following among a press corps that would die so The Paper could live; it can lay off enough people to still be profitable; and its Owner could yet fall on His sword for the good of personkind. We don't like that one newspaper dominates the nation's thinking, especially one as closeted and corseted and The Paper, but con-SER-va-tives are deluding themselves if they think it mortal -- and that its "death" will excuse their empty heads and recycled ideas.
