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 as the press agents who call themselves reporters bring their selling of THE CURE FOR CANCER (aka THE SUPER BOWL® FOR WOMEN) to a fever pitch they make us think: are we wrong? Should we go to the movies every weekend? Perhaps the movees ARE better than ever! Is something wrong with us? But then I think of the several stories that have slighted the Os-CAR® experience, and then there's this graf:

There would be some tweaking of his fellow celebrities, yes, but no low blows such as Jon Stewart intoning that Hollywood was "out of touch with mainstream America," or Chris Rock dismissing the Academy by saying that most people hadn’t seen the nominated films.

I suspect ED MURROW was in His critically-acclaimed IRONIC style, but if you add up the BEE-OH for all the nominees we'd guess maybe a fifth of America has been to see ONE of them, and that's generous. Therefore we shall remain ensconced in our ignorance.

P. S. at 6:23 P. M. SUPERNIKKI PROMISES "ANOTHER SNOREFEST"!!!!! Go get 'em, NIK!
