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.

Blogroll Me!

One reason I will never put up a blogroll is that (aside from the hopelessness of getting others to link to me) it's a red-light-flashing way of showing you think like someone else. When you scream, "I LINK TO 500 INSTAPUNDITS!" or "I LINK TO 500 MATTHEW YGLESIASES!" it tells the world you can't think for yourself. So many blogrolls link to so many like-minded non-thinkers you wonder that the bloggers don't start to realize it's a dead giveaway to their closed-mindedness.
