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.

PAUL DRECK's panicking. Two weeks ago he said his friend LUKE SPIELBERG would bring us out of the slump with His FX and His marketing, and His toadying ad-blurb salesmen writing raves, and thence lead us into the Promised Land of B. O., so what happens? Two down weeks with His movie -- and fourteen overall. What are we going to do? I've got it, Paul -- MAKE UP MORE NUMBERS!

Saith the Dreckman:

"It takes a lot more to excite people today, and the crop of movies this year other than `Star Wars' and the movies that opened this weekend haven't inspired audiences to make that step and go to the theaters."

If you didn't work for SAMMY GLICKMAN and for all those HACKS who are TOO LAZY TO REPORT, we'd translate this as follows:

MOVIES STINK.
