About This Quote
This is a common phrase to describe the idea that certain events have been exaggerated in order to make a point. For instance, if a murder is being investigated by the police, they will have to investigate every single detail in order to know exactly what happened. However, if they focus on only half of the story, then they will miss crucial details and end up with only half the answers. This is why it is important for investigators and journalists alike to stay focused on all of the details. If they focus on only one part of the story, then they will likely end up with a false picture of what happened.
