Have you recently watched Outfoxed <http://www.outfoxed.org/>, by any chance?

"There is also an amusing, appalling dissection of the way Fox uses the phrase 'some say,' as in 'some say Senator Kerry has a tendency to flip-flop,' not to cloak a source but to camouflage a statement of opinion" (A. O. Scott, "Tallyho! Spin, Flag Waving And Shouting To Catch a Fox," New York Times, <http://movies2.nytimes.com/mem/movies/review.html?title1=Outfoxed+(Movie)>, July 20, 2004).

I'm no fan of Howard Dean, but even a Democrat has a smart thing to say once in a while: "When Dean was asked about anonymous criticism from both Democrats and Republicans, he quickly brushed it aside, saying, 'I'm not going to respond to blind quotes'" (Will Lester/Associated Press, "New DNC Head Dean Looks to Rebuild Party," San Francisco Chronicle, <http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2005/02/15/politics/p100203S44.DTL>, February 15, 2005). -- Yoshie
