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.

Today BizWeek ran a genuinely depressing story about the fiscal rathole that is KOLLEDGE. No one has to tell us it's a waste. What really rubbed it in is the suggestion parents could save their money and present their grown children with loads and loads of stock rather than sending them to Club Med in the sticks to get plastered for a hobby, and not ever learning how to think because their "profs" are as provincial as they. Indeed we can say (and pardon the language) that most kids go to KOLLEDGE just to get laid, and evidently they can't do too well at that given our divorce rate. Yes, prostitutes would be cheaper too.
