The classic example of this was an 11 o'clock news teaser I saw on one
of the Baltimore TV
stations a few years ago: "Is there snow in our future? Details at
11." The answer turned
out to be "no".
Or, in the Washington Times today, front page, "Syrian Agrees to Rice
Meeting." That headline seem to imply that Syria has been refusing to
talk, but is finally relenting and agreeing to some request from
Secretary of State Rice for dialog. Actually it is us who is doing the
refusing, and continuing to so so. Reading the article reveals that
Rice has made no offer of dialogue whatsoever, and the Syrian official
was merely saying, in response to a question, that Syria remains ready
to talk at any time.
