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 must also note more people are listening to more junkier music than ever, but our solace here is we're paying for less of it. And that so many Wacko wackos supposedly opted for their beloved on CD over downloads indicates the Web may not necessarily be recorded -- SOUND's savior. How many of today's acts can be preserved in plastic? (And the Wacko wackos think their plastic will be worth $500 someday. Good luck!)
One other solace: MEG at $1.87; SALM at $0.71; BBGI at $2.17; ROIAK at $0.36; ETM at $1.58; EMMS at $0.294; CMLS at $0.57; RGCI at $0.239; WWON at $0.045; CTDB (home of THE DRUNKEN SLOB) at $0.034, and CHEAP CHANNEL NEAR BANKRUPTCY.
