Cherry picking

Cherry picking is a logical fallacy where only evidence that supports a conclusion is presented and evidence that goes against that conclusion is overlooked. Cherry-picking is used very frequently by People involved in Politics. Left Wing and Right Wing people tend to use evidence that supports their cause and overlook what doesn't suit them.

Notable examples
conservatives point to small numbers ofpeople who succeeded despite a Poor background. Conservatives then try and pretend other poor people are at fault because other poor people didn't escape poverty the way the minority did.
