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.

There seems to be an annoying forced revisionism over Woodstock, the greatest cultural achievement of man. Part of it may be that people do tire of hearing culture-war stories from boomers; part of it may be the hacks have this vague notion that people are tired of the CW; part of it may be their supersalesmanship of the GENIUS of rock; part of it may be mere idle Kinsleyism. Whatever, it seems a little hypocritical that the industry that finds cancer-curing powers in anything show biz is suddenly beating up on a LEGENDARY forty-year-old.

And the revisionists are saying the movie was "great", meaning they're still on the right side.
