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.

Hey Rog! You'd be great at GE BANCORP -- if you didn't already flack for RUPERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But this IS a man who can write without embarrassment, "The record business is Clive Davis's world, and we just live in it." No Rog, it's RUPERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'s world, and LEGENDARY Davis (you forgot to call him by his legal first name!) is merely an ASSISTANT devil.
P. S. The APE was one of TWO top-12 flicks that fell off on Tuesday. The other was -- you'll never guess. So maybe Rog has a point, but I doubt it.
By the way, does the world care about Wacko Jacko? You do -- too much.
