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.

"This is his MASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTERPIECE," NBR President Annie Schulhof said of "Letters From Iwo Jima." "I was blown away [DIMWITTED AD-BLURBIST SIC] by its delicacy, the poignancy of how he talks about war. I think it's also a searing condemnation of war. It was a unique view of the Japanese side of the battle. We don't always see that." [IMMORTALLY AHTISTIC OVEREMPHASIS ADDED]
We might have seen it if we'd LOST.
P. S. from our favorite PR MAN ROG:
This column reported last year that Annie Schulhof, the controversial president of the NBR, had close ties to Warner Bros....which has international rights to the film....
How THOROUGHLY DISINTERESTED!
