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.

ADAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'S weenie cri-TIC says this show he's been championing for the last five years will CHANGE THE THEA-TAH. This is the veritable equivalent of Tom Shales's retching about STATUS. Remember how KERNGERSHWIN HAMMERSTEIN was going to CHANGE THE THEA-TAH? This peewee would definitely have said the same thing about Hair and A Chorus Line, two shows "bold" and "innovative" in their day, which did nothing to keep the thea-TAH from becoming a hermetically-sealed tourist trap, a glowing costly toy that speaks only to effete snobs and gays and expense accounts. There can be no good musicals without good tunes. This miracle does not have them, and it is likely no Branson East theme park will ever have them again, unless, as always, it's exhumed.
