[Ombudsman]

No this isn't an SNL digital short. This is Palin's new (please make me relevant) ad.

How many of the following propaganda methods can you spot?

Glitterin Generalities

"One of the New York Times' star reporters, Judith Miller, is known to have relied heavily on Mr Chalabi for stories about Iraq's purported weapons of mass destruction, although she was not named in today's piece.

The note to readers cited a front-page article published on December 20 2001, which quoted an Iraqi defector who said he had personally worked on "renovations of secret facilities for biological, chemical and nuclear weapons in underground wells, private villas and under the Saddam Hussein Hospital in Baghdad as recently as a year ago".

But it added that when the defector had recently been asked to identify to US officials the sites where he claimed to have worked, he had failed to do so. The officials, the paper said, had also found no evidence of such weapons programmes.

The New York Times' admission that it was misled by sources follows the revelation a year ago that another of its reporters, Jayson Blair, had fabricated and plagiarised large sections of stories carried by the paper."

Pretty soon there'll be nothing left, but my hidden stash of banned books.
