Hello? You most certainly were cherry picking. From Wickipedia:

Quote:
Cherry picking, suppressing evidence, or the fallacy of incomplete evidence is the act of pointing to individual cases or data that seem to confirm a particular position, while ignoring a significant portion of related cases or data that may contradict that position. It is a kind of fallacy of selective attention, the most common example of which is the confirmation bias.
I can post the headline and the link to practically any ideological site that catches my fancy, but that doesn't make it true. Your link is for an online publication that is unabashedly right wing and filters its information through tea colored glasses.

I am not impressed. Plus, what's up with the logo of the "patriot" sitting on the throne? Makes me want to send the editors a box of fiber.
