Sorry, I still think I am right about the media rarely lying
Reading the first couple of sentences it seems that the definition of lying has been twisted a bit.  Lying is about conveying information with the intent to deceive the listener.  The acknowledgment that is made in the article that they believe media often deceives their listeners to advance an agenda by intentionally leaving out important context means that they are lying.<p>Trying to use a definition of lying that means only making false statements is not a proper definition. There is a big difference between someone who makes a false statement that they genuinely believe at the time and someone who makes a completely true statement but has omitted certain details in order to deceive the listener.  The first person is simply mistaken and hopefully will correct themselves with more knowledge. The second example is someone who is using words to manipulate an outcome by getting someone to believe what is ultimately an untruth.  It is completely possible to say only true things and be a liar.<p>&quot;A lie that is half-truth is the darkest of all lies.&quot; ― Alfred Tennyson
