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.

Lately as another excuse for the people they write résumés to news hacks have said star power doesn't work in movees anymore. When asking themselves why the hacks turn to PAUL DRECK who says something about BEEEEEEEEEO being so TREMENDOUS MOVEES DON'T NEED STARS!!!!! The poor performance of two movees this weekend says otherwise. We hate to write about Jennifer again but if her mug weren't plastered on every celebrity rag and Web site every week would anyone outside her fan club know her from Eve? Dammit I want my stars to look like something. And clearly neither a certain prima-donna's outbursts nor her TATTOO drew fans to the whatisit she starred in -- and we can't excuse her for her looks because just like Jennifer we wouldn't know her from Eve either as hundreds of thousands of pretty girls haven't hit the jackpot. No, star power would work in the movies -- if there were stars worth seeing.
