My political candidate gives 10% of his income to the needy, goes to church every Sunday, and volunteers one day a week at a homeless shelter. Therefore, he is honest and morally straight.
Explanation: What information was left out of the example is that this same candidate gives 10% of his income to needy prostitutes in exchange for services, goes to the bar every Sunday after church (and sometimes before), and only works at the homeless shelter to get clients for his drug dealing business.
This is a prime example of cherry picking.

Get the Popping a cherry mug.A phrase from the 1996 song "I Want You" by Savage Garden. This phrase may have made some people refer to this song as the "Chic a Cherry Cola Song," because this incredible song was sung at such a fast pace, few people can keep up with the lyrics. It is pure '90s, and pure awesomeness.
Anytime I need to see your face I just close my eyes, and I am taken to a place where the crystal mind and magenta feeling taken shelter in the base of my spine sweet like a chic a cherry cola.
