It's a key Lets imagine I ran a national news network, and I wanted to systematically portray people with blue eyes as criminals. I would downplay and not report crimes of people with brown eyes, but I would report every crime someone with blue eyes commits, and ensure that "Blue eyes" is in the headline. I would then report on the victims and report they had brown eyes. If the victim didn't have brown eyes, I wouldn't mention the colour, and let people make their own assumptions. This would all be accurate, but it would also be massively fake. Of course that would be crazy, yet that's exactly what happens every day in the media.
