I call it "lying by omission" or "lying by obfuscation". We saw it during the impeachment wars with Hillary's flying monkey, "journalist" Sid "The Squid" Blumenthal, he of the "Nuts & Sluts" strategy.

The cost of tariffs are passed along to the consumer. Who was more dependent on imported goods and who was paying more per capita for them, northerners or southerners?
