There was (I think!) a Twain story lampooning journalistic "correctness" in the matter of attribution, allegation, etc. -- the earnest reporter (MT himself?), responding to his editor's criticism of some of his previous work, so loaded his next copy with careful hedging that it was reduced to absurdity. I am "sure" that I have read this piece, but, in spite of some time-consuming attempts to track it down, through both reference materials and perusal of Twain's work, have failed. Help? Thanks.
