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.

What do rock ad-blurbists do all day? We know what the WIDE-EYED ARM-WAVING ENTHUSIASTS do -- go from one free screening to another, in a daze of worship (actually a daze of mind-numbness, but they don't know -- or care), graffitiing their names above the titles. We imagine it's a little more difficult for a WIDE-EYED ARM-WAVING ENTHUSIAST of recorded...SOUND -- the record biz hasn't been doing much advertising lately. The ASSPRESS's scribbler with the weird name obviously has gotten lots of free records this year, and this is presumably her way to return the favor. Just one problem: ad-blurbists do so many favors we've completely tuned out to them, except to see who can outdo another for idiot praise.

P. S.

Honorable mention:...

"Blackout," Britney Spears (YES, I SAID IT!)

And oh, yes, by the way: Britney’s "Blackout" is at No. 112 on Amazon.com.

The public's said it, too.
