On: Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper (1807)

[refurb]

Would you consider leaving out key facts that drastically alter the conclusion one might draw, lying? I would.

How about covering one news story, then not covering another on the same topic, such that you form a very different opinion about “what is going on”?

I would consider that to be editorial bias.

Lying would be indicating something that was not true.

I don't doubt that the former can be just as bad or worse than the later over the long haul, which is why, by the way, I don't watch cable news.
