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.

As too much of the world knows too much by now ED MURROW has pointed with pride at Himself over how "smart" He and His BLANKETY-BLANK VIEWERS are. This latest excuse for partisan screaming (we thought Rep. Giffords BANNED IT) begs the point: The question isn't how much you know about current affairs -- any serious Web denizen should know a lot, and there's no excuse in its presence for ignorance -- but how you use the knowledge; and we wouldn't be any more sanguine in ED's eggheady presence than in the REV. DR. BECK's, or any of the other TV loudmouths.

Lest we forget ED and FOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!NEWS are "entertainment" -- and little more.
