We told you the facts minus some of the pertinent information. That&#39;s not a lie. It&#39;s called selective information. Lmbo. You lied you freaking aholes.

The fake news is being used to shape someone &#39;a opinion totally opposite of what the truth is. This is something that we now need to be aware of when we read the &quot;news&quot;. Don&#39;t always take something at face value.

If the news reported to us is in fact a fact then the one calling it fake news is the one that&#39;s lying .

The person believes they are being truthful, but what they are saying is not true.<br />- Omission – leaving out relevant information. Easier and least risky. It doesn’t involve inventing any stories. It is passive deception and less guilt is involved.<br />- Restructuring—distorting the context. Saying something in sarcasm, changing the characters, or the altering the scene.<br />- Denial—refusing to acknowledge a truth. The extent of denial can be quite large—they may be lying only to you just this one time or they may be lying to themselves.<br />- Minimization—reducing the effects of a mistake, a fault, or a judgment call.<br />- Exaggeration—representing as greater, better, more experienced, more successful.<br />- Fabrication—deliberately inventing a false story.
