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.

"[A]t the posh Boca Raton Resort and Club this week -- where Rolls Royce sightings were remarkably common", the knuckleheaded chauffeur-driven CEOs who run consumer products firms declared in suspicious unison that they'd raise prices and use the money to finance junk television. What a neat excuse to schmooze -- they can spend half their time in Hollywood (or Boca Raton if that ever gets dull) and blame it all on inflation! We will not be so impolitic to ask when these dimwits last shopped for themselves -- that would be like asking them how old they are -- but we will say we almost hope inflation proves so bad it might even hurt their wallets too, or shorten their tenures, which can't be short enough.
