Fox attacks 'vindictive' media

"The ministerial code has been found to be breached".  There's nothing like the passive tense to soften the message.  It wasn't me, guv, it just happened.

He criticises the media frenzy, apparently without wondering if he might have caused it. One week before resigning, he assured us that the allegations were baseless.  Baseless! He knew that they were not only not baseless, they were true.  It was a bare-faced lie.  Does he not feel that he should also apologise for baldly lying to the public he served?
