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.

It is hard to imagine how thousands have not died in this catastrophe. Japan is most unfortunate in existing in a highly active earthquake zone and having so little of its own natural resources, but it has prospered despite it all, and will continue to prosper still. We suspect the tsunami will have little impact outside Japan.

We could not help noticing how JPOD, one of the con-SER-va-tive stalwarts whose chests expanded and muscles bulged over the partisan union-bus...er, I mean the budget-cutting courage of SCOTT, hid under his desk this morning at the thought of a nuclear meltdown. We find it highly unlikely a nation with so little of its own energy will abandon the nukes, and with our friends the Arabs in revolt mode we shouldn't abandon their prospects either.
