Selective reporting is FAKE NEWS and is designed to spin the story at the whim of the editors.

"Selective reporting is FAKE NEWS and is designed to spin the story at the whim of the editors."

It is the media's greatest weapon, since actual falsehoods can be exposed, and the media know the public will only tolerate a certain number of proven falsehoods.

So the main weapon is selective reporting: deciding what and what not to report, and which facts within a story to report or not report.
