"The trouble with Nanny Ogg was that she *always* looked as if she was lying. Nanny Ogg had a pragmatic attitude to the truth; she told it as if it was convenient and she couldn't be bothered to make up something more interesting." --Terry Pratchett, "Lords & Ladies"

And while I'm on the subject of pTerry, he's got (coincidentally enough) another wonderful Discworld book titled "The Truth", which is an excellent sendup of the print media. Highly recommended (as are all his other books!)
