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.

We are grateful that the GanNETtoids were able to take a break from their busy schedule of not reporting the news to plug Kirk Kevor -- KERKORIAN's folly.  After you read it you want to rush to book a room -- if you have the money, that is.  (Not to worry -- they're having a SALE!) I guess there was no avoiding adding a sentence or two in the advertorial stating that Kirk built it at the top of the market, and all the slight inconveniences attendant thereto. (No mention, happily, that a condo tower had to be shortened due to construction errors.)  Maybe if GanNETt can run more such plugs past its hotel-bound audience it can build up the travel biz -- and build up AMERICA!

Its centerpiece resort is 61-story Aria (so named because arias are focal points in operas)....

Honest, GanNETtoids, we wouldn't know these things without you!
