Another interesting way to lie with facts is to use one scapegoat as a factual example, but ignore all the other factual examples.

For instance, right wing hacks love to point out the flaws in NYT over and over on thier quest for "media is bad", while ignoring:

* they too are media

* there are just as many examples in their own organization and almost every other

*choosing to play dumb that they choose the examples as part of a targeted smear campaign
