The best recent example I can think of would be all the comments in the press about how Brown was believed to be, or said to be, or thought to be, behind the votes in favour of the Freedom of Information (Amendment) Bill, followed a couple of days later by someone actually asking him and him saying that he didn't actually support it.
There's certainly a hell of a lot of that around, and it's frequently unclear whether it's based on anything more than preconception and conjecture.
