Tobacco companies pioneered the "flood of confusion" tactic used to make it seem that there are two sides to a story when there really isn't. This is the Rove-Dubya method too, and should be added to the indictment.
This is one of the things that has made it more or less impossible for me to talk to people about politics in a civil manner. You have to keep knocking down these phony planted stories and quibbles and misrepresentations and anecdotes over and over again, and eventually you lose your respect for the people you're trying to talk to and decide to enjoy yourself in your pitiful, hateful way, and just vent.
