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.

Mark Steyn doesn't quite get it right. The BADNESS of today's entertainment is more than just poorly run popcorn restaurants or Whoopi fulminating, and I suspect Mark knows it. I do not want to repeat myself re all the factors that have led us to this golden age: some commercial, some governmental, some active interferences of the Devil like his invention of DR. EVIL; nor do I wish to repeat myself that the industry has the financial and psychological wherewithal that it doesn't have to make anything decent. This is why discussions cultural are always dead ends; how can we change something that can't be changed, even though we KNOW it needs changing?

P. S. All the 1939 GENIUS could not get the BEEEEEEEEEEEE-OOOOOOOOOOOOO to rise.
