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.

The SUPERNIKKI!!!!!!!!!! brigade is making a great wingding over SUMNER firing two VIAC -- er, "Paramount" executives, which rather reminds us of Aldonza's line in Man of La Mancha: "One pair of arms is like another" -- thus with one pair of studio execs. We hate using Dilbert-like buzz words but for all the talk of Mr. Jesus Christ and MICKEYMOUSE NIXON and the late Mr. Warner Bros. and the loudmouth producer who wrote that memoir and other such flashes no one in moviedom has had -- vision since the furriers' sons, and they had the vision because they started Hollywood from scratch. The industry is now so old as to have passed into America's industrial nursing home, and all these screamers do is change the IVs on the patient to feed it zillions, and it still turns out the same zombies, and we're supposed to care? Hollywood alone is evidence we need a revolution more than Iran.
