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 had never heard of Thierry Henry until today -- and it's likely Moon 'n' Stars's top bunglers still haven't heard of him, though the P&G Expensive Razor Blade Division is wasting $8.3 million-plus on this guy. We can't figure out what the bunglers gain -- somehow boasting that "I WAS AT A CONTROVERSIAL QUALIFYING MATCH FOR THE WORLD CUP FINALS AND YOU WEREN'T!!!!!" is not quite "I WAS AT THE SUPER BOWL AND YOU WEREN'T!!!!!", though the scenery might be nicer (away from the PITCH, that is). But $8.3 million-plus probably could sell a lot of M-'n'-S goods, goods that could keep some people in their jobs, which $8.3 million-plus to a foot -- soccer prima-donna probably won't.
