Medill-do 

Students at Northwestern's Medill School of Journalism. Used in a perjorative sense by professors and outsiders. The word is formed by combining the school's name with a common pleasure instrument known as a dildo.

"I told you Medill-dos to get at least two sources for each story -- not just one. You say you want to be journalists but you are all too lazy," said one irate Medill professor.

"They're only Medill-dos," whispered the city councilman to his assistant. "They want to be journalists some day, but nobody ever sees any of their stories. You don't have to worry about what you say to them.
"That's why there's a pimple-faced kid holding the microphone. Nobody would put him on the air in the real world."

Medialoid 

The phenomena that is suggested to have begun in the 80s, intended to boost ratings, which has resulted in there no longer being a clear distinction between ethical journalism and tabloid sensationalism.

The Medialoid attack of Michael Jackson rendered a guilty conviction in the Court of Public Opinion from which he has never been fully vindicated; in spite of legal acquittal.

The Medialoid agenda of news outlets is to have an "ethical" journalist, as well as a "tabloid" reporter covering a high profile case. The latter prints salacious rumors and innuendo which the former picks up and reports as fact. As attorney Mark Geragos has said, "That is not story telling...it's a gang-bang."

Medialoid 

It is mainstream media infected by tabloid journalism. The infiltration of tabloid journalism into traditional media sources, including the proliferation of sensationalism, triviality and disregard for privacy.

"Facts, Fallacies, and Fears of Tabloidization"

"Tabloid Truth: The Michael Jackson Scandal"

Tabloids rely for their content on gossip, barely credible sources, an appeal to emotion, and the use of checkbook journalism. Where the problem occurs is that mainstream media is rapidly turning into medialoid.

megillah 

Something long complex, and possibly tedious. Fr. Yiddish/Hebrew, for "scroll." Certain scrolls are read on particular holidays; it takes a long time, hence the secondary meaning.

I asked for instructions, and he explained the whole manual to me, the whole megillah, from beginning to end. It took two hours.

Medellin Cartel

During the 1980s, Pablo Escobar became known internationally as the Medellin Cartel gained notoriety. The Medellín Cartel is said to have controlled roughly eighty percent of the shipments that entered into the United States, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic with shipments brought mostly from Peru and Bolivia, as Colombian coca was initially of substandard quality. Escobar's product reached many other nations, mostly around the Americas, although it is said that his network reached as far as Asia.

Escobar bribed countless Colombian government officials, judges and other politicians, and he often personally executed uncooperative subordinates and had anyone he viewed as a threat assassinated, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of individuals. Corruption and intimidation characterized the Colombian system during Escobar's heyday. He had an effective, inescapable strategy that was referred to as plata o plomo; Spanish for "silver or lead", intended to mean "accept a bribe or face assassination." Escobar was also responsible for the killing of three Colombian presidential candidates who were all competing in the same election, as well as the bombing of Avianca Flight 203 and a Bogotá security building in 1989. The Medellin Cartel was also involved in a deadly war with its main rival, the Cali Cartel, for most of its existence.
