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.

Today I saw the Mummers, viewing it by walking twenty-four blocks down Broad and twenty-four up, and on the way back up I saw the same string bands I'd seen on the way down. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the most ineptly organized parade in all the world. But I must note -- and this thing rarely gets noted in the public prints -- that the fans were extraordinarily well-behaved, as they have been every time, a little tipsy perhaps, and giddy with Silly String, but why not? Before next New Year's I intend to get a DSLR and if I've not been frazzled typing this blog I intend to post my own pictures, knowing half a million have posted their own already.
