Anyone else picking up on the echo chamber?

The newest shout: "<fill in the blank> is trying to influence the outcome of the forthcoming US presidential election."

1: Randy Scheunemann, a former advisor to the US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, accused Mr Annan of trying to influence the outcome of the forthcoming US presidential election. "I think it is outrageous for the Secretary-General, who ultimately works for the member states, to try and supplant his judgement for the judgement of the member states," he told the BBC.

2: Congressional investigation in to CBS doc: "SEN. ROBERT BENNETT (R), UTAH: A deliberate attempt on the part of a forger to change the course of an election. "

3: From CNN Paula Zahn now transcripts: ZAHN: Yes, but, Andrew Sullivan, we also heard in the second part of the statement from CBS News tonight, they believe -- they say that those objections were never raised, simply not true what these women are saying now.

SULLIVAN: Well, they are impugning the very people, experts, they asked to verify. This is extraordinary. They have to withdraw this right away, because they are not re-reporting the story. I mean, they are telling us now we're going to look further into it.

I'm sorry. They've made the story. It's wrong. It's based on a forgery. Why do they go ahead if they have these doubts? And the answer is liberal bias. Dan Rather has a beef against the Bushes for many years and he pushed this story because he wants to defeat the president. That's the obvious explanation.

1. The trial balloon was the election in Spain.

It didn't work then.

But if they repeat it enough, the sheeple will probably buy it.
