query not grabbing :/

[aebstract]

$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM news WHERE id = '1'") or DIE(mysql_error());
	      if(mysql_num_rows($query)==0){

	while($r=mysql_fetch_array($query))
	{
	echo "working";
	}

		  } else {
		  echo "too bad";
		  }

 

I keep getting "too bad" returned and I don't see anything wrong with my query? I tried doing just SELECT * FROM news and that didn't work so I tried to be more specific, still no sauce. Is news a predefined variable or something and I can't use it?
