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.

Ingmar Bergman defines "classic" -- everyone knows he was a classic, and everyone knows he made classics, but alas we suspect hardly anyone has ever seen them (we haven't). Woodster the Perv saw them. Whether that is a recommendation or an insult we don't know. (We incline toward the latter.) The ad-blurbists may miss him while for the people who made that damned promotion this weekend into a "hit" he will not exist. (Indeed they may mistake him for Ingrid -- if they know who she was.) Such is the disconnect between art and commerce in entertainment, and such is the state of our fillum biz.
