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.

The new king of a local university wants to wipe out poverty from his neighborhood. The only way he can do that is by expanding his enrollment twenty-fold, and we suspect even Bill Cosby University is finding gentrification only goes so far; and by somehow persuading industry to relocate in those neighborhoods it's defenestrated, and the first calling of America's CEOs is to refuse to provide work for the locals. Inevitably he'll go the EDS-'n'-MEDS route and get GUVMENT and his pliant parent clients to build him some Taj Mahals. We've had enough needless spending on kolleje kampusses, and when a new king like this promises to act as a local savior we want to permanently stop our ears up.
