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.

GM's Electric Networked-Vehicle (sic) is cute, but especially with the emphasis on Networked it will likely be little more than that. How long since the sci-fi brains first spoke of self-propelled vehicles -- a vision as horrifying to the old GM as the trolleys it drove off our streets? We further suspect it's doing it as a favor to its quasi-CEO His Incompetence. And self-propelled vehicles aren't all a favor; they point to the increasingly centralized control of our lives by a surface-benign Google-like central brain. But eliminating needless accidents and especially the DUIs may alas be worth it.
