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.

Kevin Drum says he's "eviscerating" five current political platitudes but comes back with five of his own (namely, our side will win, eventually), although we'd agree with the fifth -- put SARAH!!!!! out there and His Omnipotence will walk on water another term for sure. Of course Kevin hasn't the foggiest idea what the voters are really thinking -- no one does, certainly not the pollsters who prestidigitate national opinions from small samples. We will know slightly better on election day, and even then, we merely start a long, hard, tedious, infuriating slog through another presidential campaign.
