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.

We are not surprised to learn that one of ST. WARREN'S Assistant Gods says the economy is worse than the CW would have it. No one wants to call this a DEPR -- an economy; they probably didn't do it in 1930. But when our housing market collapses, and our biggest banks are wards of Uncle Sucker, and two of our automakers are nationalized, and the formerly Great Britain goes through the floor, it is a DEPR -- an ECONOMY, even if people aren't hawking apples, and no amount of artificial sweetener can improve that bitter taste. Of course to say The One is making things worse is Republican, but History's Greatest Planner has already decided it is worth it, no matter how worthless all that worth poured down the rathole is. "Mid-2011" sounds about right for housing -- and the economy.
