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.

Even better:
The slowdown hasn’t stopped Michigan and Louisiana from building multi-million-dollar production facilities. Producer Jimmy Lifton *announced (sic) plans last week to build a $146-million, 750,000-square foot production studio factory and village in Allen Park, Mich.
And a $45-million, 500,000 square-foot studio complex recently opened near New Orleans, even though only two films are slated to shoot there.
But only 10 films are “anticipated” to shoot in Michigan -- none of which are backed by major studios, according to the Michigan Film Office’s website. And the New Orleans Office of Film and Video lists 13 features -- mostly independents -- in pre-production, but none currently filming.
What do moVEE "studios" and sports stadiums have in common? Oh, never mind.
