Do you consider this "dishonest"?

I think that it is dishonest to only give a one-sided picture of something when you know there is also many negative aspects.

No. I call this TV news.

Oh, I don't think TV news and dishonest are incompatible.

No, but I was going by the definition the creator has provided us with - presenting us with one side of the thing. They often do that, especially if they take an official party stance.

Depends on the "something". If you're selling something, it would be dishonest.

If someone is trying to make a decision based on the information you give them and you omit relevant details in order to bias them, that's dishonest.

It depends on the situation. Is it your wife asking if she looks fat in this dress? Or is it a general briefing the President on the situation in Afghanistan?

It depends on the situation. If someone asks what you think of a meal that they prepared, I think it's quite acceptable to comment on everything you enjoyed and quietly ignore anything that you didn't like. If a patient asks a doctor what their health is like, it would be very dishonest to tell them that they had an excellent heart and lungs but neglect to tell them that they had bowel cancer.

It really depends on the context. If they asked how what they're wearing looks, I would consider it polite and, perhaps, merciful to focus on the positive. If it's about what they can expect from a visit to the dentist, then I would consider it dishonest. And mean.

No. I do this all the time.

If they asked me, then yes, it's dishonest. If I told them out of the blue, then no, it's not.

No, everyone does this when selling a house or Car....................

Yeah. They specifically asked and you didn't tell them everything.

Well yeah but that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with doing it.

No, it is not dishonest at all. You have told the person a bunch of truths about a subject. This is probably what the person wanted to hear anyways. You've made the person happy, when you could have instead made them sad, so you've done good thing for them.

It depends. Am I selling them a car, or is my wife asking me if this dress makes her ass look fat?
