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.

I'd never thought anyone would make Moronna Dargis look good, but here's The Mogul's Friend, who seems to have taken Robert "Over the" Hilburn's place as the LALATimes's most fatuous writer, flailing madly that the reason the beloved Os-CARS® and other big events are dying is because of Maj. Bowes and hypersexed on-line teens. (Or, to translate, RUPERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

In fact the public has abandoned BIGMEDIA's ship for several decades; but by making it appear it's only been the last several years The Mogul's Friend can take the heat off the people who are largely to blame for all those viewers swimming away from that sinking ship -- his industry buddies. Even Moronna had to swallow hard and admit, in the end, the public is not THAT stupid. But some know-it-all colyumnists may be.
