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.

WFMU.org's blog has introduced us to a very interesting site that specializes in downloads of schlock videos its proprietor summarily assumes are PD -- mostly seventies programmers (and mostly R-RATED -- and no age check!) and a few made-for-TV movies, all out of circulation for some time, and with luck never to be circulated again. We'd make nothing of it but for two points: 1. SAMMY GLICK...MAN has lost the piracy war, and this stands is its most prominent tombstone this side of BitTorrent; and 2. The next time SAMMY GLICK...MAN boasts about JACK'S SECRET-RECIPE ALPHABET SOUP someone should ask him who lobbied for LEHMAN BROTHERS.

P. S. We've a hunch three of Alexa.com's Top 50 are frequented rather heavily by under-17s. The only good thing is that biz has run even more afoul of piracy.

P. P. S. And speaking of Cowboys, here's another biz that isn't wholly undeserving of it.
