Lying by Omission and Silence

Timothy Birdnow

The power of the media is not just in what they report or how they report it but in what they choose to leave out - or not report at all. Lying by omission is still lying.

Dr. Roy Spencer tells this tale:

My wife and I just had a discussion about the biased news media, which has burned me a number of times over the years. The last major meeting I was at, a mainstream news crew was there and wanted to interview me on camera. I asked someone (I think it was Jim Lakely, not sure) to record the conversation on his phone, and I was very open with the reporterette about why I was doing that and why I did not trust their network to report fairly. She acted sympathetic to my views. The people around us (and especially one of her cameramen) seemed really interested in what I was saying. (He and I talked for another 20 minutes or so, which irritated her).

As far as I know, none of my interview was used in her reporting.
