Pooh, Skywalker, and Fox: somebody's lying. Guess which one?

Head over to headsup: the blog (which is always worth your time, by the way) and check out fev's masterful dissection of a combined Fox-Telegraph, well, lie.

Here's a superlative example of the propagandist's art. At a casual read, you'll get -- well, exactly the impression you're supposed to get: The callow naif who is poised to represent the Party of Chardonnay and Surrender Democrats is surrounded by people even flakier than he is, so sign the kids up for those Farsi lessons now.

The story itself, of course, is almost a complete fabrication. The fun part is the "almost" -- seeing, in this case, what an impressive superstructure of lies the good folks at Fox can build out of a few kernels of empirical reality. That's the essential skill of the propagandist, so let's have a bit of a look at who said what.

It's fev at his best. Don't miss it.
