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.

I HAVE HAD IT WITH MOVIE AD-BLURBISTS. Some months ago the hoity-toity cretinous A. O. with B. O. ran an article on Bonnie and Clyde that hypocritically concluded Bosley Crowther may have been right. Now an equal fraud at Stale.com says in so many words THE MASTERPIECE OF PHILIP K. DICK is vastly overrated. These SCHMUCKS (pardon my Chinese) want it both ways -- they want their names above the titles AND they want to show their supposedly iconoclastic erudition. They want to prove they can stand up like men even when they act as whores. I HAVE HAD IT with these X-markers having it so many ways they have none.

And I want someone to tell me this dimwit's "[T]his is still in many respects the film panned by Maslin and Kael" isn't the moral equivalent of the flatulent A. O.'s LAST GRAF.
