This week's award goes to the David Cameron and the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg for her tweet "Cameron - ministers did 'not give a complete picture' of what was going on with Megrahi case"
Labour ministers not telling the whole truth - "No shit, Sherlock"
UPDATE:
Span Ows in the comments alerts me to the possibility that Laura Kuenssberg might have constructed that Tweet more carefully than I had first thought. There is no mention of Labour ministers and by positioning Cameron and ministers right next to each other I wonder how many people would read her Tweet as referring to ministers in the current government? For recent history of such (possibly) deliberate take a read of this Biased-BBC thread that includes contributions by the Span Ows and myself - see 4pm Update.

presumably (hopefully) most Twitterers will not read that as "Cameron ministers did not give a complete picture", which would bring it into line with BBC reporting...o, han on...Laura who?
