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.
