Half – truths
Beware of those who use the truth to deceive. When someone tells you
something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included,
he can create a lapse impression.
For example, someone might say , “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery.
It was great that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred
dollars!”
This guy’s a winner, right? May be, may be not. We then discover that he
bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a winner .he’s really a big loser!
He didn’t say anything that was false, but he deliberately omitted important
information. That’s called a half truth. Half – Truths are not technically lines, but
they are just as dishonest.
Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often use this teriyaki. Let’s
say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained
three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents runs an ad
saying, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” that’s true.
However an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the
state had a net gain of two million jobs.”
Advertisers will sometimes use half truths. It’s against the law to make false
claims so they try to mislead you with the truth. An ad night boast, “Nine out of ten
doctor recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples.” It fails to mention that only
asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.
This kind of deception happens too often. It’s a sad of life: Lies are lies, and
sometimes the truth can lie as well.
