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.

This could make A Little Night Music look good.
It also appears many of the WIDE-EYEDLY ACCLAIMED IMMORTALITIES didn't do so hot either -- like the one about JOE WILSON'S...never mind.
This is a catastrophe in PINCHDOM and its overlapping kingdom of SONDHEIMANIA. Though we're not that familiar with THE GREATEST MUSICAL -- pardon, OPERA EVER we suspect it might have worked as a Charles Addams kind of film -- nothing offensive, just good ghoulish laughs. Instead DER KULT got worked up over its self-importance, and with the help of ARM-WAVING ENTHUSIASTS it's deposited an egg almost as big as KERNGERSHWIN HAMMERSTEIN laid two years ago.
And did the world NEED a parody of WALK THE LINE?
And now come the RECRIMINATIONS -- SUMNER SOLD IT THE WRONG WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nothing wrong with the movie, to be sure -- THERE NEVER IS.
Hmmm: Could HERR DOKTOR sue SUMNER for MARKETING MALPRACTICE?
I'm not sure he should -- SUMNER may have paid for BLOG MENTIONS.
By the way...what IS a "Brian Lowry"?
