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.

HENRY HONEST!!!!! has raised a big stink over HOWIE HAIRSHIRT's salary, and TINA!!!!! insists he isn't making $600,000 a year. Problem is, we believe it. If anything, we believe it could be low. We believe it because TINA!!!!! and HUFF 'n' PUFF are making the same mistake as other BIGMEDIA: They think by paying huge and unjustified salaries to name-brand talent they "build" their "BRANDS". To the public the brand names are more like Brand X. And HOWIE was a figure of the most malicious fun long before he left The Daily Kaplan. We can't vouch for the other names but plainly any BLOG that can relocate to a hot, sexy building named for a toy company (!) in a hot, sexy Manhattan neighborhood has VC money to spend. Once more we learn few things are more opaque than brand-name Web sites' finances. This gravy train can't choo-choo forever.
