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.

OH, THE PEOPLE YOU'LL MEET: Two dopes -- dope DEALERS sat behind me on the El. One dope -- dealer was out of breath dropping his stash and evading the cops (he said). The other dope -- dealer was headed to a hospital to pick up drugs (legal) no doubt paid for by us. His Omnipotence would have hugged himself. The runner was 30ish but looked older, skinny (as well he would be evading cops) with a moustache and goatee and a light brown casual shirt and beige droopy drawers, and a white baseball cap (backwards); the other was about 30 and 200 pounds with a navy blue sport shirt and light gray droopy drawers. I have long questioned the utility of cell phones but a discreet one would have come in handy then.
