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.

Yesterday I mentioned "the Nuremburg Rally of show-biz". Consider: Nuremburg drew tens of thousands of maniacs who dressed funny. So does Comic-Con. These same people did funny salutes. So do the Comic-Cons. Nuremburg had Leni Reifenstahl. Comic-Con had KING JAMES. At Nuremburg the masses saluted evil. At Comic-Con they salute people who...look evil. At Nuremburg they obsessed over supermen. At Comic-Con they obsess over Superman. Nuremburg had all sorts of behind-the-scenes types who weren't nice, like Goering and Goebbels. Comic-Con has all sorts of behind-the-scenes types who aren't nice, like SLIME and SUMNER. We intend no slander to the Comic-Cons, who would as soon think of mass murder as they would think; but when people start exclaiming en masse no good's likely to come of it.
