From your own links....

Cherry picking, suppressing evidence, or the fallacy of incomplete evidence is the act of pointing to individual cases or data that seem to confirm a particular position, while ignoring a significant portion of related cases or data that may contradict that position. It is a kind of fallacy of selective attention, the most common example of which is the confirmation bias.[1][2] Cherry picking may be committed intentionally or unintentionally. This fallacy is a major problem in public debate.[3]

You do realize that some people want full inquiries into subjects (irregardless of political positions)? Would this not be the best way to seek out the truth?

Some feel content labeling information using the newly fabricated term "fake news". Throwing this term out (which few of you on here have ever used prior to 6 months ago if you reflect honestly on the matter) essentially "debunks" information "not worthy of inquiry" in the background of a "appeal to authority" mindset. You cherry pick your info and play to your biases in doing this (if you are honest with yourself). Can you show me where in the scientific method or reasoning where "fake" hypothesis and logic is addressed (you may have to find a 2017 text as the term did not exist prior...)

The irony of it all is that some on here exude smugness while laughing at others who are being manipulated.

The reality is that we should all be concerned that we ALL are being manipulated. Some are aware of this and seek the TRUTH. Some have it all figured out and exault themselves in being RIGHT.
