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.

This latest ennui-provoking publicity stunt is why news can be more trouble following than it's worth. We don't know why some people think they're more honest uttering curse words; you'd think they'd have a little more dignity and self-respect than to utter them of our president; you'd think an Ivy Leaguer with a zillion connections who earns half-a-million as a TWXSTER and perhaps an equal amount from CONCAST (or whatever they overpay him) would cherish his job as an entitlement. Moreover with all those self-appointed brains and all that moolah you'd think he'd come up with a better zinger than a crude word meaning PENIS. Perhaps he wallows in the self-pity of his relative "obscurity" and thus OLBERMANNING or BECKING were his answer. Certainly they're the answer if you wish to emulate a horse's behind.
