. The thing that draws me like a moth to a flame is propaganda or
unanswered, misrepresented "facts" in a controversial discussion. When I see
them, I light up like a fuse. g

Well it's something everyone does. That is present the facts that support or
embellish their position. Just as the facts that Gunner posted to start this
thread were actual facts (depending on the years etc). The "fact" that they
didn't necessarily represent the total picture is obvious. Journalists do it,
lawyers get paid to do it, politicians do it, and everyone, who ever discusses
just about anything, does it. To call these selective facts "lies" is an even
worse distortion of the truth than the original selective "reporting" of facts.
