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.

We'll NEVER hear the end of this.
P. S. at 5:06 P. M.: By $60,000 over the APE, so says Lee's Movie Info. And the two new "comedies" are doing satisfyingly underachieving results -- and THE GAY COWBOYS have vamoosed off the top-10 list.
HUGH!! K-LO!! YOUR FILM may be ON TOP THIS WEEKEND!!!!!
P. P. S. Technically speaking the APE may be getting slightly more business per screening than CGI LEWIS, and it's playing at 48 fewer venues. But it was SUPPOSED to do BETTER than this. So the HACKS told us; so PAUL DRECK told us; so GE BANCORP AND REALTY told us. So they NEVER STOPPED TELLING US.
Don't you feel happy when these frauds get a lump of coal in their stocking?
