-A '''lie by omission''' is a statement in which everything that is said may be factually true, but that is still deceptive because material information is omitted.<ref>[http://www.fedupusa.org/2012/03/lie-by-omission-bernanke/ Lie by Omission (Bernanke)]</ref> For example, if a murderer who stabbed his victim denies his crime by saying he "did not shoot the victim", then this is technically truthful, because he stabbed the victim. However, it implies that he did not kill the victim, which is untrue.
