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.

There seems to be a concerted effort to turn TARP into a PROFILE IN COURAGE. Whether it was necessary or not the fact is the people bailed out the bankers for their greed, and while an alleged profit may salve the government it does little good for the rest of a nation still deep in dep -- an ECONOMY. No accident that members of the politburo like Bob Bennett are cheering themselves for their wisdom. Haven't we had enough self-congratulation from our superiors? The public has a right to be angry, whatever TARP's "success" -- and that success does not mitigate the failure of FANNIE AND FREDDIE. Count them in and the "success" disappears.
