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.

Count on the zillionaire lunkhead MB2 to have to write this -- and he would give lavish cash gifts to his favorite politicians, freely and incontinently -- but he is right. Christmas, like so many of our national traditions, has become a pale imitation what it was while being bloated out of all proportion at the same time.  Gift-giving is tedious, counterproductive, and unnecessary, and many times the recipient will not appreciate the gift.  Better to give to a good charity, where the gift can actually help those in need.  But that MB2 wrote this does call his own morals into account, as he can afford lots of things we mere peons can't.  Aiming at self-penitence, MB?
