Most lies contain mostly facts, but it is the way in which the facts are arranged that speak to the full understanding of any given story or situation.
When you listen to radio news, you can tell whether the news writer is showing a bias or not. When you watch a news program, you notice a raised eyebrow or inflection of the voice that tells you where the news reader’s sympathies lie.
The Bible warns against sowing dissension among believers so as to maintain a unified faith among the flock. But in secular circles, dissension is maybe one of the biggest tools in the prevaricator’s bag of tools. What liberal leaning MSM does is not out and out lie, (that is, on a regular basis or to the degree that the lie is readily seen as a lie) no, whet they do is post a story with mostly all facts, but then they arrange the facts so as to slant the story one one direction, i.e., to cause confusion and clammer among their opposition.
There is coming a day or reckoning for all liars, those who use the lie for personal and political gain... if one such lier does not repent of his lying and trust in the one who gave his life to pay for the penalty for our sin, the one, Jesus Christ, he will be cast into the lake of fire.
That is a very good point. It is like when the serpent told Eve that she would not die. He knew she would die, but not immediately (He left that part out).
Your comment is what precisely I am getting at. These media outlets are clearly biased and dishonest, but rarely get caught in a purely fabricated lie. Their intention is the same of a lie, and that it is to mislead someone from the truth.
