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.

The news hacks have broken the Spider-Man embargo, starting with Ben, an act that may alas totally prove the irrelevance of theatah cri-TICS and Branson East. Turn Out the Lights has already demonstrated its touristic value -- surely the world knew from the opening announcement it would have no artistic value -- and that may be the only value it needs. We know how the Addams Family theme park succeeded despite pans. Does anyone here remember the write-ups for the Wizard of Oz theme park? No, Branson East is about money, and an uncritical audience, looking for excuses, can easily be suckered into believing it's getting its money's worth. Whether the producers can sucker enough people into a profit remains to be seen. If it can talk of art becomes completely specious, as if it isn't already.
