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.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 4:
News isn't news when we don't report it.

A NEAR TRAGEDY IN LOUISVILLE: A team of STARCHITECTS was all ready to put up this masterpiece of toy blocks on the city's waterfront -- but then just as with THE DRILL BIT ON THE LAKE, the Babbitts financing it ran out of money, and the citizens of that burg could only dream of the great and noble edifice lost forever, except to the denizens of sites like ARCHDaily! Thankfully the local EDDIE!!!!!s, sensing the need to boost CIVIC PRIDE, applied for STIMULUS MONEY, and with luck in another ten years the locals will be demanding this nationally acclaimed eyesore be torn down, perhaps requiring more tax money.
