About that Hydroxychloroquine for Covid-19 trial

Your example wouldn’t even constitute a lie. It would be “misleading” at best.

But it’s not that, either. You’re making up a completely fact-free accusation:

The aquarium is mentioned in the headline

The second sentence is:

“It does not appear they took the pharmaceutical version of the drug, but rather "an additive commonly used at aquariums to clean fish tanks," Banner Health said in a statement.“

If that constitutes „lying“ to you, it’s beyond hope.

That's because they've stealth-edited the headline. Look it up in other news sources. The initial headline was extremely, and deliberately misleading.

Here's what it was: https://twitter.com/axios/status/1242425467438858241?ref_src...

And if this does not constitute lying to you, you need to wake up.
