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.

HOLLYWOOD [Andrew Stuttaford]
"Sadly," Warren, why "sadly"? If lefties in Hollywood (even the insert-nasty-adjective-of-choice Michael Moore) have found a successful marketing model, good for them. That's capitalism. Besides, folks on the right shouldn't knock Hollywood for having a product that nobody wants to watch (the usual refrain these days) at the same time as knocking it for, well, having a product that people (but the "wrong" sort of people) want to watch. As for your idea for more 'heartland' films, absolutely. I'm sure there's a big, neglected market for them, and the more voices out there, the better. I just hope that they aren't you know, too wholesome...
