Every source that fails to provide a complete description of reality as a whole is &quot;missing context.&quot;<p>But it is not the job of sources who are reporting true things to soften their messages, or act as if they are kindergarten teachers and their readers are children.<p>News Outlet: &quot;Saudi Arabia killed Jamal Khashoggi&quot;<p>Fact Check: Missing context, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia does good things sometimes, too.<p>News Outlet: &quot;Jussie Smollett found guilty&quot;<p>Fact Check: Missing context. All lives won&#x27;t matter until Black Lives Matter.<p>Thanks, Facebook for this intrepid fact checking. I feel blessed, rather than patronized.
