"Henny Penny?" From FAIR via Cursor:

According to a transcript on the Department of Defense website, Rumsfeld told reporters:

"And then there was the Office of Strategic Influence*. You may recall that. And 'oh my goodness gracious isn't that terrible, Henny Penny the sky is going to fall.' I went down that next day and said fine, if you want to savage this thing fine I'll give you the corpse. There's the name. You can have the name, but I'm gonna keep doing every single thing that needs to be done and I have."

A search of the Nexis database indicates that no major U.S. media outlets-- no national broadcast television news shows, no major U.S. newspapers, no wire services or major magazines-- have reported Rumsfeld's remarks.

Henny Penny? I'll give you the corpse? What exactly are the media reporting these days, besides Jennifer Lopez's diet?

*The new Pentagon group was created "to provide news items, possibly even false ones, to foreign media organizations.”
