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.

Henry the K could have organized the Lockerbie "justice" -- cynical "realism" in the name of trade, cynical espousal of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". Of course justice would never be served; too many people had their grimy paws on the balance. And His Omnipotence proved a realist too; he shrugged his shoulders in the name of "can't we all be friends". And PC had to rear its ugly head too. And if the "humanitarian" aspect was vaguely justifiable, it died amidst the cheers of Libyans. When what we must call Western "civilization" acts as a doormat we should expect people to walk over us, and wipe their feet on us in the bargain.
