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.

The Daily Kaplan mourns the former -- butler of Meet the Press, and while he no doubt did a very fine job for the already pampered guests we wonder if there aren't people out there who deserved a DaKa obit who might not have inspired a slight bit of annoyance, which wasn't the butler's fault.

Elsewhere we mourn Milton Levine, inventor of the Ant Farm, who imprisoned untold millions of ants in see-through plastic cases so the kids could make google-eyes at them, but no one ever complained -- this was before PETA -- and he was called "Uncle" too.
