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.

Spike Lee blasting rap is a little like MICKEYMOUSE NIXON blasting greed. There must be an ulterior motive behind this. Maybe HONKY's taken it over (so many of the "genre's" fans are stupid whites). But let's assume he's sincere. Of course rap demeans blacks. Of course it lowers their expectations. Of course it turns scum into heroes. And above all, it isn't MUSIC, it's HITLER RANTS. If Spike Lee is sincere, great. Problem is, there are an awful lot of NEWS HACKS who think rap is the most profound expression of GENIUS since Schubert wowed them at the drawing-room soirees. It's going to take more than PC film directors to change minds on this.
