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.

GUVMENT's mandating GROSS!!!!! pictures on cigarette packs so it can say, "See? We NEED government!" We'd guess in time GROSS!!!!! will be as readily ignored by smokers as the warnings, and we would not be surprised if the coffin-nail makers win in court -- especially a con-SERRRR-va-tive court. That does not make their products any less detestable.

Also, why is it necessary to upset little kids to make this point? GROSS!!!!! will hit them the hardest -- and it won't stop peer pressure from getting them to smoke. It also makes it ever less likely we can drive crud from TV and the movees.
