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.

CLODS: As we've noted before hack pols have this obsession with playing rock anthems in their campaigns. It's no accident some of the rockers are getting back at Republicans for using their genius without their permission as they're Democrats, which makes them look extremely small-minded. But why must the oafish pols use the same six songs anyway? And why must it always be rock? What's wrong with "The Stars and Stripes Forever" or "Seventy-Six Trombones" on occasion? And these jerks don't even listen to the lyrics.

Of course someone would scoff at the latter; that was from a show about a con man with a musical scam. But he did come through for River City -- more than we can say for most pols.
