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.

That Forbeslist typist named Tammy -- Tamny insists the Wall Street Casino dealers should pay themselves whatever number they want because their earnings are "ephemeral". Also they're valuable because they're "price givers". We have two retorts; the dealers may be ephemeral but the bonuses aren't, and yes they're price givers: they can give any price they want, like AOL at $900 or oil at $150. And in saying how wonderful FREE ENTERPRISE is and how awful GOVERNMENT is he seems to forget his Wall Street cronies are back in the money because government is burning it on THEM.

Didn't Jesus say something about money changers? The only thing Wall Street is missing is a golden calf. It already has its bull.

How apt this nonsense appears on a day a Fed high-mucky-muck tells the dealers a soothing fairy tale, and puts the SECOND MASSACRE RALLY back on track.
