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.

BONUS POINTS: "[GE BANCORP] has linked with Kellogg and Nestle for some children- and teen-centric promotions on cereals and candy bars" for an R -- PG-13 movie. Not only do these MORONS want to be in MOVIES, they want to engage in SOCIAL ENGINEERING using JACK'S SECRET-RECIPE ALPHABET SOUP.
P. S. This will probably be the kind of huge hit the BIZ needs in order to feel good about making rotten movies again, because the GET-A-LIFE crowd is worked up, but the last time so many companies linked up in a promotion like this it was AUDREY'S MONSTER -- from the SAME COMPANY -- and NOT a BOFFEROO HIT.
P. P. S. Why am I hoping $500 gazillion of CGI will prove less impressive than Willis O'Brien or Ray Harryhausen?
