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.

WELL, we survived August, which is good news. It was not a month that will be recorded in the Enlightened Discourse Hall of Fame. In fact, it was a NATIONAL EMBARRASSMENT — not just the steady stream of misinformation about the nature of President Obama's health-care proposals, but the RACISM — both overt and opaque — the DEATH THREATS, the IMPRECATIONS (calling someone a Nazi is evidence of the evil of banality), THE IDIOTS BEARING ASSAULT RIFLES AT PRESIDENTIAL EVENTS!!!!! [Overt overemphasis added]

Oh Mr. Bew-KES! Pinch! I've got something you could charge for! Have a contest between Anonymous and Frank Rich to see who can turn his face beet-red faster!
