Whenever I see any news report my 'credibility scale' kicks in.

It can be illustrated as being from 1 - 10
1 = I accept it as true----------------- 10 = it must be lies.

In between there are various shades of half truths.

Where you decide on the scale is always subjective and should not be fixed. Your opinion can change as more info comes your way.

At present my view on this Jammy Saville topic is that we are being told half truths.
Whether you consider half truths as deception in another form, is dependent on how flexible your opinion can be.

I don't regard it as healthy to have perception fixed at any point on the scale.

In the past I have pointed out when lies have been so blatantly exposed that #10 has been the only conceivable option.

PS some people opt out of forming any opinion because they aren't interested, and find it more comfortable being that way
