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.

JPOD had to rave a work of genius, using a title from Richard Brinsley Sheridan, and I had to respond electronically, saying his fellow POST typist hated it (to the resounding dissenting duuuuuhhhhh of commenters), and such art can't be genius and stupid at the same time; and of course JPOD did not say in any detail why it was genius, the mark of a man striving to be not entirely honest; and I said this was exactly why people questioned his appointment as Commentary editor as he's ever the pop-culture marshmallow; and so I sent my comment off, the practical equivalent of spitting in the wind.
