Some say the journalism business is so bad that reporters have to work a fast-food job to make ends meet.
It’s just the opposite for Spongebob Squarepants, the fry cook turned reporter in “Krabby Kronicle,” a 2008 episode that raises a semi-serious ethical dilemma.
(Jim Romenesko highlighted the episode after seeing a Tweet from Hollywood Reporter online editor Chris Krewson, who saw the episode on a Monday afternoon.)
Spoiler: Fortunately, Spongebob’s editor/boss doesn’t read the paper before publication, which teaches him a lesson in reciprocity and loyalties.
