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.

If the ideologues who will be RAVING A CONSERVATIVE MOVIE are Philistines in the manner of THE GLIBERAL (i.e., we know more than you so we don't have to know ANYTHING), BRENT'S SEAL-OF-APPROVAL DISPENSERS are Philistines in the old Babbitty way of being stupid and unlettered and proud of it. Their surface differences notwithstanding, here's a case where six of one does equal half a dozen of the other, and I'd like to take the Andy S. crowd AND Brent and grab them by their scruffy necks and bang their heads together -- though to be sure, with their lack of brain matter it wouldn't hurt.
