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.

All this proves is that after having seen (and raved) thousands of movies the way to get to these two multimillionare publicists is to hit 'em on the head -- and they, like Mr. Mark, know (or think) a big payday's comin'.
I am getting sick and tired of hearing about this stunt, but the M.O. of modern public relations (and NEWS HACKERY) is TOTAL SUBJUGATION AT ANY COST.
P. S. EisnerCorp calls these bozos "renowned," perhaps thinking there might be some doubt -- especially after the conflict-of-interest stink.
