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.

[RUPERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! factotum Bruce] Snyder could not give a firm screen count but said it could be significantly higher because of interlocking, the practice of taking one print and showing it on multiple screens within a theater. The lack of any other film playing midnight shows on Thursday essentially made nearly every auditorium in the multiplex available, and exhibitors added screens as demand warranted.
TRANSLATION: NOTHING ELSE PLAYED AT THE MOVIES! This bodes well for everyone who isn't LUKE SPIELBERG.
Several other notes: No. 1: RUPERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! gets only a $50 MILLION DISTRIBUTION FEE (talk about DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHH). No. 2: It's playing at 9,000 screens of ill-repute. Who wants to bet on a BIG FIVE-O? No. 3: NEWS HACKS SPECIALIZE IN INNUMERACY.
