Heres the bits i think talk about truth... the episodes called "Homer Bad Man" and i guess its written by matt groening
Jones: We're aware of your problems, and, Mr. Simpson...we want to help.
Homer: Mmm. I saw that report you did on Sasquatch. It was fair and
even-handed. I'll do it!
Homer is interviewed on-camera by Godfrey Jones.
Homer: Ehh, someone had to take the babysitter home. Then I noticed she was sitting on the gummi Venus, so I grabbed it off her. Oh,
just thinking about that sweet, sweet candy...[moans lustfully] I
just wish I had another one right now. But the most important
thing is --
Jones: That was really great Mr. Simpson. We got everything we need.
Homer: OK. Say, can you introduce me to the Sasquatch? I like his
style.
Homer and the rest of his family watch the report that night on "Rock
Bottom".
Homer: Hee hee! Here comes the bouncing ball of justice!
Jones: Tonight on "Rock Bottom", we go undercover at a sex farm for sex
hookers.
Farmer: I keep telling you, I just grow sorghum here.
Man: Uh huh. And where are the hookers?
Farmer: [points] 'round back. [realizes] Whoops.
Jones: But first:
[photo of Ashley and her parents at graduation]
She was a university honor student who devoted her life to kids,
[slomo of Homer reaching for his car keys]
until the night a grossly-overweight pervert named Homer Simpson
gave her a crash course in depravity. "Babysitter and the
Beast"!
Homer: Somebody had to take the babysitter home. Then I noticed she was
sitting on [splice] her sweet [splice] can. [splice] -- o I grab
her -- [splice] sweet can. [splice] Oh, just thinking about
[splice] her [splice] can [splice] I just wish I had he --
[splice] sweet [splice] sweet [splice] s-s-sweet [splice] can.
Jones: So, Mr. Simpson: you admit you grabbed her can. What do you have
to say in your defense?
Homer: [looking lustful in a clearly-paused VCR shot]
Jones: Mr. Simpson, your silence will only incriminate you further.
[paused shot of Homer grows larger]
No, Mr. Simpson, don't take your anger out on me. Get back! Get
back! Mist -- Mr. Simpson -- nooo!
Man: [quickly] Dramatization -- may not have happened.
The next morning, Homer gets out of the shower to see helicopters
looking into his bathroom window. He panics and slips as cameras flash.
The picture appears on the news that night.
Newsman: Simpson scandal update: Homer sleeps nude in an oxygen tent
which he believes gives him sexual powers.
Homer: Hey -- that's a half-truth!
{[changes channels to Sally Jesse Raphael]}
Woman: {[weeping] I don't know Homer Simpson, I -- I never met Homer
Simpson or had any contact with him, but -- [cries
uncontrollably] -- I'm sorry, I can't go on.}
Sally: {That's OK: your tears say more than real evidence _ever_
could.}
Announcer: And now we return to "Fox Night at the Movies": "Homer S.:
Portrait of an Ass-Grabber", starring Dennis Franz.
Homer: Ooh, "portrait"! Sounds classy. [looks at family, who look
away] Doesn't it?
[on screen, Franz laughs as he drives through a line of
parking meters while the babysitter screams]
[a cat cleans itself in the middle of the road]
"Ashley": No, Mr. Simpson! A cat is a living creature.
"Homer": I don't care. [runs it over]
[crashes into some garbage bins]
"Homer": Now I'm going to grab me some _sweet_.
"Ashley": No, Mr. Simpson, that's sexual harassment. If you keep it
up, I'll yell so loud the whole country will hear
"Homer": [laughs] With a _man_ in the White house? [laughs] Not
likely! [laughs more]
Kent: This is hour 57 of our live, round-the-clock coverage outside the
Simpson estate. Remember, by the way, to tune in at 8:00 for
highlights of today's vigil, including when the garbage man came
and when Marge Simpson put the cat out...possibly because it was
harassed, we don't know.
Of course, there's no way to see into the Simpson home without
some kind of infrared heat-sensitive camera. So, let's turn it
on.
[screen shows blue house, orange Simpsons watching TV]
Now, this technology is new to me, but...I'm pretty sure that's
Homer Simpson in the oven, rotating slowly. [closeup of turkey]
His body temperature has risen to over 400 degrees -- he's
literally stewing in his own juices.
[in the studio] Now, here are some results from our phone-in
poll: 95% of the people believe Homer Simpson is guilty. Of
course, this is just a television poll which is not legally
binding, unless proposition 304 passes. And we all pray it will.
Jones: In our mad pursuit of the scoop, we members of the press
sometimes...make mistakes. "Rock Bottom" would like to make
the following corrections.
[a list scrolls by very, very quickly]
Bart: Wow! V8 juice _isn't_ one-eighth gasoline.
Homer: And Ted Koppel _is_ a robot!
Lisa: There's you, Dad!
Everyone: Yay!
Jones: Tomorrow, on "Rock Bottom":
[slomo of Willy walking into Godfrey's office] he's a
foreigner who takes perverted videos of you when you least
expect it. He's "Rowdy Roddy Peeper"...
Homer: Oh, that man is _sick_!
Marge: Groundskeeper Willy saved you, Homer.
Homer: But listen to the music! He's evil!
Marge: Hasn't this experience taught you you can't believe everything
you hear?
Homer: Marge, my friend, I haven't learned a thing.
[family walks off, disgruntled]
Homer: [hugs TV] Let's never fight again.
Jones: We're aware of your problems, and, Mr. Simpson...we want to help.

The Jebadiah Springfield episode of Simpsons is also a good text to use, although I don't know where to get scripts
I'm thinking of doing the children overboard scandal but I didn't follow it closely while it was happening. Can someone please give me a run down of what happened and any good sources on this issue? I've been to couple of news archives but the articles mostly concentrates on the aftermath of the scandal, not the sequence of events.

aww.. baby raccoon ^^
LOTS of simpsons eps are good for truth..

umm i wouldn't want you to go off me BUT basically a photo was released of a baby being held overboard by a refugee on a boat and Howard, Ruddock and Reif played it up as if they where "emotionally blackmailing" us. and it was right before an election, so there were no parlimentary sittings or whatever they are called. anyway after election there was an inquiry due to leaks (like anonymous tips to journalists from the navy), and it turned out that no one threw any children overboard and the boat they where on was damaged. howard and ruddock both have quotes someowhere on the net.... www.truthoverboard.com i think and REIF who was just about to retire said "its an absolute fact, children where thrown overboard" or something lik ethat.
also howard saying that sadam is buying uranium off niger, which bush also said but he got around the fact that he knew it was fake by saying "our good friends the english have told us.." but howard said "our intelligence shows us..." even though the CIA told bush and ASIO told howard they where fraudulant documents. (italy got this fake document about it and gave it to england)
so its all coming back on howard a bit now. heaps of occcasions crean nails him for truth and rep in question time on ABC but i only really watch that when i can't move from the heater infront of the TV
oh oh also howard has a bunch of "advisors" so if something comesback on him he can say that its their fault... but they might not be telling him everything

I used "A Few Good Men" which I wasn't very successful at.
"YOU WANT THE TRUTH? ...YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!"
and an article entitled "The truth about tampa" or something similar, SMH October 31st, 2002.

someone mentioned above the mediawatch website http://www.abc.net.au/mediawatch/
also if you don't mind reading, the novel "The Fourth Estate" by Jeffery Archer...it's even got a few great quotes to use in it...from the editor of a newspaper "I Lied"
also as far as simpsons episodes...you can touch briefly on the episode where marge becomes a real estate agent...and you can use the good 'ol:
Lionel Hutz "Well you see there's the truth (nod's head vigourously)...and...the truth (shake head with conviction)"
