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.

There must come a point when Little Jeffy must ask himself if LEGENDARY WELCH's goal of total universal (er, NBC Universal) domination is worth being in entertainment. It was one thing when it was the fad to try to assemble one big national media firm, when LEGENDARY did it. Now the trend is to disassemble it. Financially we'd guess the new fad won't be any better for the shareholders than the old. And as the public gets wiser to media shenanigans merged or unmerged big business must ask itself how much the rabid obsessive association with media has hurt its rep. We despise GE BANCORP AND REALTY because it's in entertainment. If it weren't we might merely detest it.

And if Jeff Zucks thought he could play a game with certain of his viewers, SAMMY GLICKMAN can tell him it's one game he can lose.
