complementary facts

---

news generally is presented in the form of a story, and as a story has to be constructed one way or another - so always is created - you may call most news just as well "created news" or “fake news”

among the ingredients of a story may very well be hard facts, it is the combination of the facts with other ingredients - like say opinions, ideas, values or fantasies - that make up a story

in painting with complementary colors on your palette you can create many different nuances of color and grays

it may go the same with facts, as there are many around that contradict each other: by adding contradictory facts to your news palette, they may very well act complementary - the story that develops may become richer, with more nuances and closer to a reality in which many paradoxes do exist anyhow
