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.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 4:
News isn't news when we don't report it.

We do not say this lightly. People of both political dogmas grin inopportunely. PILLHEAD wanted His Omnipotence to "fail" on day one. Had he said it in words less crass it would have been understandable, but it would not have been PILLHEAD. Former VEEP BIG-OIL showed a slight glint of teeth when he said Leon was "inviting" a terrorist attack. We know how the likes of GEKKO KUDLOW suffer extreme angst when businessmen are prosecuted, and heave idiotic sighs of relief when they're able to buy their way out of prison. But the liberals declared the Fort Hood gunman's religion non-existent, and they did so for a cause, and now thanks to the malevolence that comes from political ossification and the elevation of cheap attitude to a virtue on both sides they can smirk mischievously.
