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.

Con-SER-va-tives are FURIOUS over His Omnipotence's pay dictatorship. We repeat, the government should not dictate corporate salaries. That said, these banking cretins were prepared to use Uncle Sucker as their backstop, and they had this revenge coming from the moment they peddled their toxic paper and larcenous loans. Yes, they may find a way around the strictures; but I wouldn't be surprised if the salaries make no difference in the competence; if anything, lower salaries might actually mean better management, as the managers won't be thinking of their godforsaken GREED first. It further behooves con-SER-va-tives to remember that so much of "business" is de facto socialized anyway.
