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.

I've got news for you, Stole -- er SKOLL, your masterworks won't work on three levels: 1. They probably won't make money -- THE KNIGHTING OF ST. EDWARD just fell on its sword; 2. Atop the mighty notion that THE CONSPIRACY wants to extrude the worst product possible comes the notion it wants to HECTOR moviegoers with PC, and sorry, most people DON'T like being hectored, however CRITICALLY-ACCLAIMED the hectoring (indeed the more CRITICALLY-ACCLAIMED the hectoring the LESS LIKELY some will endure it); and 3. There was a time people in SHOW-BIZ could claim to be better than their idly watching peons. THAT TIME HAS PASSED.

You're worth umpteen zillions, Stole -- SKOLL. Why didn't you give the money to the Red Cross, or the Salvation Army, or somewhere it WOULDN'T SHINE A BIG BRIGHT KLIEGL LIGHT ON YOU?
