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.

Stories like the idiot Gov. Sanford's would have SHOCKED!!!!! people once. I react to them with a low-grade disdain. We expect our ruling superiors to flout the laws of God and man, and thanks to their charmed circumstances to get the second chances they don't deserve; we further know most of the guilty parties believe they did nothing wrong. (It is also a BI-PARTISAN pestilence despite the intense efforts of the hacks.) Moreover, whatever their own brains tell them, folks like these are not very bright. Besides, people who can't lay off their zippers won't lay off our wallets. The best for cretins like the Gov. and Sen. Ensign to do is to fade away like the old soldier, which can only mean their idiot lights will still shine their unwanted beams on the public.
