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.

News hacks will be in a state of delirious tremors because APE III made a comeback -- but this is still less than some prognosticators predicted for the opening day. I'd further note that it appears for all PAUL DRECK'S proverbial blather the BEEEEEEEEEEE-OOOOOOOOOOO won't be that much higher than last year's -- and HUGH AND K-LO's favorite movie will be down by at least fifty percent, which again gets me to thinking whether WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!!!!! The Jesus Slasher Movie wasn't a fluke; but they will NOT STOP BOASTING that THEIR MOVIE will have evidently done more business in its first THREE days than THE APE might do in its first FIVE.

BETTER NEWS: BEEEEEEEEEEEE-OOOOOOOOOOOOO may be down next weekend from last year, when some now forgotten movies had the usual deceptive big opens.

Again, it is IDIOTIC to pay these manufactured numbers mind but movies are at the center of the HACKS' universe, and therefore are at the center of OUR universe.

P. S. Some good news: Lee's Movie Info says top-10 receipts are down from last week.
