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.

Amid the Tarzan yells on the Freep -- and I recall all too well when Mrs. Bush chided the networks for airing the WTC obscenity ad nauseum, there was a veritable JUNGLE of them, and tomorrow the whole @#$%&* CONSERVATIVE WORLD will be deafening with Tarzans -- a voice of occasional sanity, chosen at random:

Will someone on this forum (maybe someone who is Jewish) explain to me why everyone is SO sensitive about their heritage?

Myriads of Jews have been persecuted, robbed, beaten, raped, tortured, exiled, and murdered because crowds were inflamed around this time of year with material relating to the Passion. It is a haunting memory, given the circumstances.

The dimwit CONSERVATIVE ad-blurbist ninny Michael Medved LuuuuUUUUUUUUHHHHHVES it because it's conservative. (So, alas, does Terry Teachout -- because he writes for THE WALL STREET JOURNALS CONSERVATIVE EDITION.) WHY MUST THIS @#$%&* MOVIE BE A CONSERVATIVE LITMUS TEST?!?!? It's screaming like this that proves the old left-right dichotomy does us so much harm.

And need I remind the TARZANS the true test of this movie will be the SECOND week?
