Weasel Words

"In one famous example, a television broadcast network circulated for weeks certain memoranda, the contents of which were damaging to the incumbent President of the United States (George W. Bush), though those who obtained those memoranda knew, or ought to have known, that they were forgeries."
The above lines cite no sources.
Which 'television broadcast network' is this?
Elaborate on the 'contents', what were they?
Who are 'those who obtained those memoranda'?

Merchant of Venice

The reference to Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice being blatantly anti-Semitic propaganda is simply not correct. This has been a subject of debate for quite a long time. While, in one example, the Nazis broadcast the play shortly after Kristallnacht as anti-Semitic propaganda, and there are other instances in which it has been used as such, there is ongoing debate as to whether that was Shakespeare's intention. Many of the arguments for a sympathetic reading of the play center around Act III, Scene I, wherein Shylock gives the speech which begins: "Hath not a Jew eyes?"
