    facts selectively (thus lying by omission) to
    encourage a particular synthesis, or gives loaded
    messages in order to produce an emotional rather
    than rational response to the information
    presented. The desired result is a change of the
    cognitive narrative of the subject in the target
    audience to further a political agenda.
