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 probably shouldn't make fun of Obamotors' new Tinycars. We need to save energy for the time the free-market supporting speculators drive the price of oil back up to $150. Hummers were obscene even before John Stossel fell in love with himself. But we wonder: how does the CEO of Obamotors intend to meet his goal? With lots of teeny tiny cars -- and imports from China and India; this looks like a job for -- TATA! Not being owned by the government may free Ford (and foreign car makers) from concentrating on minivehicles. Then again perhaps the CEO is ready to crowd us into half-pint VWs because he was, after all, a professor, and professors know better.

In no small thanks to JONBOY we are close to capitalizing his pronoun again.
