Did you see that story about Barack Obama being a secret Muslim who was actually born in Indonesia? It was invented by that serial Newsfaker in Abeline, Texas.

newsak 

What a 24 hour news channel broadcasts to fill in the gaps.

Studio anchor interviewing the "on the spot" reporter about something which may happen later.

You can see "newsak" on BBC News 24, SKY News, CNN, etc on a "slow news day".

newzak 

A form of news coverage which is watered-down, dumbed-down and/or consists of stories of limited importance but greater popular appeal.

Step into an elevator and you hear muzak. Tune to CNN, MSNBC, or FOX News Channel and you see newzak.

Newzak 

The modern equivalent of muzak, where small TV screens have replaced speakers in elevators and stream tidbits of seemingly useless information to patrons as they ride up to their offices in the morning.

I was reading the newzak in the elevator this morning and learned that you should rinsed your mouth with non-alchoholic mouth wash after brushing to rinse away the bits of bacteria dislodged from your teeth while brushing.
