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.

For a start, his work is instantly recognisable in a culture that sets high store by the brand. It almost symbolises its era: those groundbreaking years when American culture confronted the tenets of Western tradition headlong. Pollock replaced brush and palette and all premeditation with an impetuous process of swinging and pouring and spattering and dripping.

His canvas was less a construction than an arena of action. What unfurled on the long bolts of cotton rolled out across his studio floor was less a portrayal of intention than an improvisation, a spontaneous record of some spur of the moment dance.

TRANSLATION: 1. The difference between my paint splatterings and Jackson's is that Jackson's are worth $140 million; and 2. Art "critics" see things.

Who knew RUPERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! was such an art lover? Or does he have a few Jacksons in his basement?
