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.

May we ask why these BIG TEEVEE STARS must get so much face time from Egypt? What are they reporting about? A group with rocks fighting a group with Molotov cocktails. We really need reporters to accompany the visuals. For what? Needless injuries and deaths? Why is thirty people getting maimed reporting the same thing a badge of honor? With the big teevee stars the true purpose of such preening is to get bigger salaries. Real reporting is not pointing your finger at your bandages, nor Tweeting how brave you are. Of course Cable Nuisance Network doesn't know its fat fanny from a hole in the ground -- and thanks to the turnips it doesn't have to.
