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.

I wonder how many of these HOT news hacks now venturing onto the Web will like their relative obscurity? And let us not forget -- some of them are already approaching the twilights of their careers, and they may not have B. S. DEFENDER's penchant for self-promotion.

Fineman's move from a print medium to online news is a sign that The Huffington Post, which has until now heavily relied on young bloggers, is maturing.

It's also a sign it'll have to pay huge salaries to the stars, which means now Huff-'n'-Puff's REALLY going to have to fake hits. More NSFW, anyone?
