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.

It pleases me to see the first-person shooters that dominate the videogame biz are full of bugs, which suggests their sales decline isn't a short-term thing. If bugs are intrinsic to the games why bother buying them? Or does one seek a vicarious thrill first-person-shooting the bugs?

I really do wish though it were possible to write on such a topic without hinting that despite it all videogames can cure cancer. Or to put it another way, if this typing is the norm videogame cri-TICS are displacing rock mu-SICK cri-TICKS on the bad-writing pedestal with their pretension.
