exactly! i just posted this, but will put it here to, as it agrees with what you said:

there are headlines stating that republicans are calling for the resignation of the democratic governor of virginia because in his yearbook (from the 1980s) he posed in blackface (he's a white guy) standing next to a guy in a kkk hood and robe. that's bad. that's VERY bad. he definitely SHOULD resign.

the thing is, though, that the headlines are wrong by omissions, because they don't mention that DEMOCRATS are calling for his resignation too, unlike the republicans who have stood by every disgusting republican that "dated" a young teen or put incel-like lines in THEIR yearbooks (before there was an incel) or stood silent while trump said that some kkkers and nazis were "fine people. they're wrong by omission because they defend congresspersons like steve scalise, who has kkk connections, not in costume, not in a yearbook (which i repeat is VERY bad), but for real.

so those headlines are deceptive even though the facts in them are true enough. the implications (that democrats are NOT calling for his resignation, that maybe this is typical of democrats, that democrats protect their bad'uns the same way republicans do) are not.
