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.

When an outfit like Yahoo! (or the ASSPress, for that matter) has a EUREKA! moment, you can see that fly swimming around in the ointment. It says here some company we'd never heard of says people can save LOTS OF MONEY on printer cartridges by changing their default printer settings to Century Gothic. WELL,



Even Yahoo! and the ASSPress admit it. They also admit documents printed in a font like Century Gothic take up more paper -- which may "not necessarily be better for the environment." We suspect someone could come up with a survey saying people could save money using MS COMIC SANS. This would have the same effect. No, in the game of printer cartridges, THE HOUSE ALWAYS WINS.
