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.

Somebody must typetypetypetypetype that men and women started thinking differently in the convenient year of 1964 so we can insert an annoying in-with-the-in-crowd reference to that media darling THE SECOND GREATEST POP-CULTURAL ACHIEVEMENT OF THE LAST QUARTER CENTURY, knowing full well -- or more likely not knowing at all -- the NINETEENTH AMENDMENT was ratified in 1920, and the GOP pitched Warren Harding to the women because he was handsome, and they fell for it. (Never mind he ultimately proved a first-rank cad.) These epochal differences happened before, and SECOND GREATEST wasn't even on the air in 1920. There wasn't even commercial radio then. For God's sake can't some people think before they type? No, or they wouldn't be in the business.
