Damn Lies
The Cassandra Page listing the Great Media Lie(s) of 2005 may be of interest to you. Not little white lies, mind you, not even sweet confections to dull emotional pain--no these lies are the mendacious kind meant to change minds and hearts because of some injustice or terrible wrong inflicted on the weak and innocent except that they're not true. These are the Worst kind of lies because they harden people, causing them to lose faith and disbelieve so that when true injustice occurs it seems rational to ignore it.
