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.

This publicity stunt is more exasperating than usual for a few reasons, and that's saying something as the whole point of publicity stunts is to cause mental anguish. First off it's selling an ahthouse picture, one we've obliquely addressed before, and that in the nature of such genius itself sounds like a publicity stunt. Second and more important, the Europeans are mad. This is blazingly hypocritical. Given Nazism's popularity in the old Europe and how so much of the continent's in-crowd is demanding the Jews abandon Israel they really ought not to wear their outrage on their sleeves. We imagine the level of Jew-hatred is quite high in the film business, not that much of an irony as many of its Jews are self-loathing, though God knows with their output they aren't self-loathing enough. This ahtiste should have shut up before the fact; now the time has come for the pretentiously outraged to shut themselves up.
