4. Bauer is covering up allegations of the appearance of impropriety.
(The trick works both ways: Actual miscreants confess to having created an appearance of impropriety, thus sidestepping the little matter of impropriety itself.)
Often in the past, when chasing some alleged miscreant, the press has brushed aside the question of what exactly is wrong with the explanation that the situation creates the perception of impropriety.
Unable to produce allegations of impropriety, reporters asked Bauer in accusatory tones whether he had "met behind closed doors" with the aide, Melissa McClard (answer: yes), and whether Bauer's aides had told him "that people are asking questions [about it] and it's making people uncomfortable."
Careful journalists never infer such impropriety.
