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.

A nutritional analysis by a Bloomberg-hired lab found that Disney's Magic Kingdom near Orlando, Florida, serves food with more fat, salt and calories than McDonald's Corp., the usual target for criticism about making kids fat. A smoked turkey leg at Disney, for example, has almost a day's worth of fat and 1,092.5 calories.
Give me that leg!
The Los Angeles Times reported on May 8 that ``multiple high-ranking sources'' at Disney said the McDonald's film deal was ending partly because the studio wanted to distance itself from fast food and its links to childhood obesity. People familiar with the matter told Bloomberg Disney liked the story because it put a positive light on the demise of a valuable agreement.
