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.

Anohter reason RENDELLISM is a PESTILENCE: The city down on its luck most heeds its siren call. CASINOSSTADIUMSCONVENTIONCENTERSARTSRESTAURANTSMOVIESTUDIOSHEALTHCAREEDUCATION is a tempting mix of high publicity, inflated promises, white elephants and perpetual debt. Add a savior into the mix and the city loses its senses. And what happens when the savior cannot heal the sick, but reserves his best cures for himself? Clevelanders must first blame themselves for turning their city to ruin, but if they reclaimed the guts they abandoned along with their once great place it could still come back.



We must note, too, George Szell died forty years ago on the 30th. No one mourns him. He was one of America's greatest music makers. Szell merged Cleveland and greatness. Where is the George Szell who can help lead his town back to it?
