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.

An e-mail solicitation from TNR's new editor alerted me that PILLHEAD had thrown a tantrum over one of its articles. Sad to say, much as I disrespect PILLHEAD, he was on to something. Simply stated, the PILL thinks Democratic (or rather, DEMOCRAT) outreach to religious voters is a ruse -- and TNR's "reporter-researcher" more or less confirms that by honing in on the perennial horse race and saying, through the words of one anonymous "organizer", "I think religious voters want to hear there is a moral reason we need to save this economy and not just an economic one." Unfortunately we've heard this song before from "religious" Democrats far more exercised over the economy than about abortion, as the PILL notes in his blunderbuss way. TNR should know you don't send "reporter-researchers" out to battle PILLHEADS.
