Example needs clarification

[edit]

"An example of this may be a man giving a speech and claiming that it is not a day for soundbites, then immediately goes on to say that he feels the hand of history on his shoulders." What is this supposed to mean? What are "soundbites"? What do "soundbites" have to do with the "hand of history"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.149.109.73 (talk) 17:47, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

soundbite is a common English term. please look it up elsewhere if you're not a native speaker -- its use is perfectly clear here.
what is NOT clear, however, is why this example is even given. was stan daniels writing for tony blair? was tony blair consciously channeling stan daniels? does tony blair even know who stan daniels IS?!
if daniels was so famous for such lines, why quote someone totally unrelated who just happens to use a similar structure? how about citing an ACTUAL daniels' example instead???? 209.172.25.54 (talk) 06:09, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
