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.

Our Convention Center's expansion is opening, and I'm depressed because we know the outcome: we get more third-rate "conventions" and America's Biggest Ghetto Mall will stay that way. EDDIES are convinced convention centers are panaceas when people can do the same things from their offices, and without enduring airport security and the joy of flying in aluminum bombs. I'm doubly depressed because the panaceas are supposed to replace real jobs when all they do is create glorified burger flippers and more debt. If the Republicans are serious in bringing down government costs they will put paid to the Taj Mahals -- and especially to those leeches who justify them with "studies".
