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 wonder how people invent words like "phenom". Once you subject people to such words you risk bequeathing the curse of the child prodigy. The news that Stephen Strasburg won't play baseball again until 2012 does not surprise us as anyone who's called a "phenom" and who throws constant heat must inevitably abuse his body in the name of potential. Whatever his salary speaking of "sensation" and "phenom" does not seem to have done this pitcher that much good.

P. S. These zillionaire sports hacks think they justify their unjustifiable salaries writing dirges. Yes Jayson, it's sad. No Jayson, the world won't come to an end. As for SELIGISM, I'd say ANOTHER PHENOM and HIS FRIENDS ended it for some of us long ago.
