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.

OH oh, EisnerCorp's new animated feature went OUCH!!!!! This is perhaps the biggest bomb ever from the company in wide release (at least in the MICKEYMOUSE NIXON era), and certainly its first flat-out animated bomb. The characters straight from the pages of Forbes didn't help. Perhaps it's too much to expect, but I wonder if EisnerCorp's stellar reputation is finally catching up with the "family-film" audiences. Certainly if the company continues this kind of performance it may have to lay off ALL its animators. If I were Steve Jobs I'd be licking my high-tech chops. Roy can't be too unhappy either.

What's bad news for EisnerCorp is good news for America.

P. S. Of course the ad-blurb copywriters praised it.
