I disagree entirely.  I would agree entirely with a statement that said
"President Clinton continued to lie today about his sexual involvement with
Monica Lewinsky" but I think that would not be a proper lead for an objective
news story.  

Off the top of my head I can't come up with any good examples about USA, but I
do remember shaking my head many times when running the board at WOXO.  It was
not usually the facts that they reported but how they palced the facts in
context of a story.
