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.

This irritating story not only proves Branson East is a price-gouging tourist trap, it proves there isn't a big audience for any property outside the theme parks. We would suggest if the park operators want to expand their profits they open future theme parks outside the immediate Branson East neighborhood, where they can install 5,000, 6,000, 10,000-seat tourist traps and overcharge to their shriveled hearts' delight.



There is also the little business of this chart. Hacks love to boast of RECORD ATTENDANCE!!!!! with Branson East, but not much has changed since 2004, with its "healthy" economy. This says the world knows what Branson East is, and the world says no thank you.
