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.

The victims, er, peons, er, citizens of the Cryonic Mayor's town are learning their ABCs -- Anywhere But Chicago. Yes, we're talking 2016. Their fear of congestion may be overdone as every Summer GAMES city clears out for a month before and after. Their fear of taxation is not. To beat the peons over the head with largely invented virtues delivered through the anvil whack of audio advertising on public transit is surely reverse psychology at its finest. But then the only excuse for such extravagances is to allow Permanent Mayors to hug themselves before the world. No, we said it before: Rio has better beaches.
