Fake news

The word fake news has become part of the current vernacular but for many it does not mean lying by distorting facts but rather misleading by leaving out part of the story. On Morning Joe they had a lengthy session on Trumps use of gas against the migrants. This led to remarks about Trump being unconcerned about the safety of women and children. What was not mentioned was that this use of gas has been has been ongoing since 2010. Arguing about the use of this gas is a legitimate discussion but leaving out part of the story can lead to a biased view. While the news itself is not fake the conclusion can be fake.
