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.

I've come to realize that the looseness of the journalistic life, the seeming laxity of the newsroom, is an illusion.

And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 4:

3. TRANSLATION: MICKEY D is about to become the Walmart of fast-food.
4. Meantime the also-rans think they'll save money financing junk TV on cable, so they may be trying for a new kind of S-word.
