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.

Spiritual uplift and commerce were the themes of the day as MPAA honcho Dan Glickman and National Assn. of Theater Owners John Fithian kicked off ShoWest with Tuesday's keynote address.
The morning session started with a prayer -- followed by Jerry Bruckheimer.
The entire crowd at the Theater des Arts at the Paris stood up as a spiritual "coach" offered thanks to God for such things as "the high marks exhibitors have received, and for enforcing the ratings system. May we have an only uplifting positive impact."PRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAISE DE LAWD GOD JERRY DRECKHEIMER!
