Interestingly, this correlates with fraud in journalism as well. One common technique is that there's a set of events that could be written about / published, but they choose to only write about the events that positively promotes their ideology, while the events that might negatively impact their ideology are ignored and not shared to the world. It's one of the ways that a news organization can "lie" without ever actually telling a lie. By painting a picture of the world using selectively chosen data based on a bias/agenda, rather than a picture of the world that is based on all available data.
