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.

Look, we know you guys have your limits, but you managed to STOP AN UNJUST WAR, didn't you? If you can STOP AN UNJUST WAR you can certainly find out what's going on in Iran, instead of reporting on His Omnipotence's eating habits, or spending as much of the news hole as possible ridiculing Gov. Sanford SOLELY because he's a CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN.
Oh, you don't have time to report the news! Very well. The TWXSTERS' rathole TMZ says Jacko's all but dying after a heart attack, so you can distract us with that for the next two weeks.
