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.

We know what Mike was trying to say but because he's The Moguls' Courtier it comes out as BS. Plainly put we don't have stars anymore. We don't have stars because we don't have larger-than-life figures, only manufactured little ones, like THE MAN WITH THE PLATINUM ARMS and his fellow (!) sluts. The great stars aspired upward, today's aspire downward; Ben Stiller and Adam Sandler come across as their archetypes -- total slobs. Worst of all, they're not interesting. I'd rather meet Miley Cyrus's publicists. To the last person they won't last. Nothing could change this but there is no helping the situation when Mike's industry is so proud of itself.
