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.

We should be suspicious of a think piece in the NEW! IMPROVED!! NEW YORK!!!, especially one on the heavy subject of -- POP CUL-TEEYURE, but as the author notes, Nicole Kidman has starred in practically zero "defining" hit movies. I suspect it's her face; though celebrated for its beauty, it has a hard, congealed look, with the slowly overspreading tinge of the society lush past her prime. There's a reason we celebrate the great beauties of moviedom past, just as increasingly likely we'll put Nicole perhaps far down on the ladder, and a mere rung above, well, Glenn Close, a career (and face) with problems of its own.
