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.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 4:
News isn't news when we don't report it.

Do I hear the BOTTOM falling out of this AU-GUST CEREMONY'S RATINGS?
P. S. The FREEPERS!!!!!!!!!! seem to be taking the BETRAYAL of THE GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT IN WORLD HISTORY in stride, with one correctly pointing out:
Academy voters (disproportionately older, Jewish, and liberal) snubbed the film because they sincerely believe The Passion is anti-Semetic, and they don't want to promote anti-Semetism.
As opposed to Free Republic, which is sometimes an emetic and promotes emetism. (I say that as A MEMBER.)
I would comment on what STERNO said about the masterwork's nomination for BEST MAKE-UP, but before then he put down 10,000 WORDS ABOUT THE FCC, and on those days he resembles a street guy covered with placards, or an agent for Lyndon LaRouche, or both.
