Excellent example! From the article linked
>A 3M spokesperson told the Star Tribune that the company was "not yet under contract for the volume mentioned" by Pence, but it was preparing to respond to the government's request for a proposal for respirators.
Note the sly language. Not under contract for the volume mentioned. Not sure where you saw they haven't been contacted, but the spin here is clear. This is a negotiation but it is presented with enough ambiguity for people to see what they want to see.
It is patently naive to believe that only the other party is guilty of bending truth.
- netsharc 7y agoOK, I missed the "r" in "contract" and read "contact". But what happent to the "weeks" you previously said? > It is patently naive to believe that only the other party is guilty of bending truth. I know, Obama "bent the truth" too, Sanders does it. I don't know about the rest of HN, but I'm honest enough to judge people based on what they say, independent of their "football team" affiliation. I'm guessing the majority of HN/the Internet is like that, and that's why there's "obvious unpopularity". The left has standards, while the right's standard is "Anything we do is defensible". Trump assaults women? The left says: "Leave!", the right says: "Lies!". Al Franken grabbed women's buttocks? Both sides says "Leave!"...
