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.

It should give the movie excreters pause when the biz' two alleged biggest names can't come up with enough for one. Dreck would say, "Well it's timing and snowstorms and no big tentpole this year and people are still going to the movies and...." I'd like to think even the hard core is starting to get some sense into its heads that movies won't get better, and believing ad-blurbists won't make them so.
P. S. at 3:25 p. m. Oops! David "NON" Germain had a change of heart; neither rain nor heat nor slush nor SNOWSTORMS will keep movies from being BETTER THAN EVER! A NEUHARTHISM OF THE MONTH AWARD TO NON!
