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.

Today ESPNCORP NETWORK PUBLICITY sent out a video press kit on MR. FORMULA ONE's house-buying daughter, and one of the things a very pliant press agent let her get away with is that PARIS!!!!! is a BRILLIANT!!!!! BUSINESSWOMAN. We might question that given her name is her business, and she founded it with a sex tape; moreover her comrade Kim didn't exactly display WELCHIAN business acumen with her debit card. Anyway, we were so annoyed we Googled "paris hilton businesswoman" -- and wound up with THIS press release, from FT. This appears to be a new NEWS HACK irritant -- to call airhead female celebrities BUSINESSWOMEN. The next person who says FT.com or ANY news source is worth paying for should have this 2,362-WORD piece of bullhockey presented to his face as EXHIBIT A WHY NOT.
