Quizmaster Fallacy
When unsure in a multiple-choice quiz, you should always pick the answer that doesn't follow the pattern of the others.
For example, if the question is "What year did the US and Britain go to war?" and the answers are:
A) 1700
B) 1750
C) 1812
D) 1850
You should always pick 1812, because it doesn't follow the pattern of round numbers.

The Narrative
A conspiracy theory stating that liberal & left-wing media outlets such as CNN cherrypick news stories in order to promote ideas of demonisation against “privileged” groups, such as mass shootings carried out by white perpetrators, and likewise embargo stories that contradict this point of view, such as rampant black-on-black violence.
“What? White Farmers are being murdered in South Africa? Why isn’t anybody reporting this!?”
“Because it doesn’t fit The Narrative.”
