good luck, I couldn't find much that necessarily contains the words gobbledgook, but since gobbledygook just means any sort of writing where excessive jargon obfuscates the meaning in the text, some good examples come to mind. For example, in the Watergate scandal, there was a lot of accusations that Nixon's claims and statements were gobbledygook. A lot of words and legislative or financial terms that don't really mean anything, and are a fancy way of hiding from the problem. I would bet that any sort of political scandal has this sort of thing somewhere. Also, this can come in a lot of warranty and insurance areas. They will use a lot of terms that make you sound as if EVERYTHING is covered because they are listing all these high-caliber sounding words, but in truth, not very much is. That's another example of gobbledygook
