a clarification.

After the concern yesterday about what turned out to be a fake quote that many thought was real, it would be best to frame it more clearly. Maybe like this:

CBS, if they were doing a story on Auschwitz: "Sorry, we haven't gotten the Nazi side of things yet."

Works even better than what you have in the OP, and with no risk of confusion.

And no one feeling that posting fake quotes is okay for some DUers but not for others.

I knew you were just being sarcastic/satirical. But with such strange real quotes these days - and we've all seen real quotes that are hard to believe - it helps to be clear about what's real and what isn't.
