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.

The always contemptible Whitney Biennial has come at an apt time, and it and its partner in risible pomposity the Os-CARS® show us how psychotically detached from life AHT has become. Perhaps all this flatulence in oils and videos does symbolize our general ennui, but I prefer to think it reflects the brain-deadness of a self-appointed elite that stopped learning and thinking and growing decades ago, and is reduced by its ignorance into regurgitating regurgitations. But the truly depressing thing is there's no grand new cultural broom to sweep these bozos clean from the landscape; they replicate like amoeba, or rather like gray goo, and leave our consciences smothered with their nothingness. And in that sense, they damningly reflect the public's impotence.
