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.

Oh, but surely there are that many films worthy of the Siskelian designation of GENIUS. Did not his sidekick and rival in toadying one-upmanship ROGER proclaim the industry to which he's sworn his fealty in blood can produce nothing but GENIUS? Let's increase the number of annual "honorees" to a hundred!

Here's a demonstration on why cutting Federal spending is well-nigh impossible: You'd have to cut thousands of Gene Siskel Memorial Thumbs-Up projects, and they're in every district, and every Congresspoop's pocket.
