Ha ha ha.. I do recall the Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko who was asked about things written about him or the USSR in the NYT: "I found it to be a balanced article, half truth and half lies. As the New York Times is a _balanced_ paper, this is to be expected." These days whenever the president makes harsh talk about (pick your country here), I halfway expect to see some embassy propagandist from the same country follow him up immediately with a rebuttal. Instead the media normally taps some D congressperson. Same difference some of you might say!!
