In practice, character assassination may involve [[Doublespeak]], spreading of rumours through [[Malicious Gossip]], innuendo or deliberate misinformation on topics relating to the subject's morals, integrity, and reputation. It may involve spinning information that is technically true, but that is presented in a misleading manner or is presented without the necessary context. For example, it might be said that a person refused to pay any income tax during a specific year, without saying that no tax was actually owed due to the person having no income that year, or that a person was sacked from a firm, even though he may have been made redundant through no fault of his own, rather than being terminated for cause.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_assassination]</ref>
