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.

It would appear that, despite THE EXHUMATION OF INDIANA JONES or whatever it's called, this will be another down weekend for the popcorn restaurants, which means if it keeps up we'll get myriad excuses from PAUL DRECK and company. First excuse: the economy. We thought your biz was recession-proof! Second excuse: the price of popcorn. Since when have people blanched at $10 Hershey bars? Third excuse: the marketing isn't working. You mean spending three-fourth's of a movie's budget on advertising may not be enough? We'll skip over the fourth, fifth and sixth excuses for the seventh excuse, issued so very apologetically: maybe the movies aren't that good. Aren't you forgetting? The warm bodies you hold in such contempt are supposed to see ANYTHING.
