Actually, there is a more insidious tactic when one or more of the above are combined with the media version of a famous Arabic torture called "death by a thousand cuts".

Slow, methodical, coordinated "cuts" by fake editorials, polls, selective interviews, adjusted facts, revisionist history, minimizing foul behavior, diversion, obfuscation, finger pointing, "how" one sees instead of "what" one reports...etc est.

Feel free to add to this list at any point.

Canoes in 4 inches of water to dramatize a barely existing flood and asking Katrina victims to show more emotion comes to mind.
