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.

And in the Land of Fool-Me-Once, Branson East's denizens are MAD. This mass tantrum strikes us as especially exasperating because the WHINER BROTHERS merely repeated a trick of seven years ago, transmuting a mediocre cult musical into an Os-CAR®. What especially grates is that just by repeating the trick they pretty well demonstrate that the first iteration stank too, but some people must live with their beautiful delusions.

Or to put it another way, this is precisely the kind of flop these fans deserve, one we wish could be visited on the dumb blind teens and the naive parents who use the popcorn restaurants for babysitting.
