*[[Cambodia]] and [[Chile]]: In the 1970s, the ''New York Times'' published hundreds of articles about the 3,000 "disappearances" of [[Augusto Pinochet]]'s political opponents after the [[1973 Chile coup]]. They only published two articles about the 2,000,0000 people murdered by the [[Pol Pot]] regime in Cambodia.

*[[Global warming]]: Supporters of the [[Kyoto Protocol]] (an emissions reduction treaty) say that "[[correlation is not causation]]" when scientists point out the dozens of natural [[climate cycles]] linking changes in sunspots to changes in Earth's air temperature.
