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.

Kate Winslet Vanishes Into Her Roles
Consider that hed for a second. Replace the name with -- oh, Bette Davis. Or Katharine Hepburn. Or Barbara Stanwyck. Or Sophia Loren. Or Marilyn. Can you? You can't. But we are assured this is (to use USAOKAY!!!!!'s idiot phrasing) -- an ac-TOR. Okay, so Kate can vanish into her roles -- which makes it more likely she and her masterworks (and rest assured, they ARE masterworks) will vanish into oblivion.
