Ok to print half truth?

An article in the ST yesterday by its editor Yap Koon Hong more or less
says this is excusable given certain conditions when factual reporting

world, in the main media and social media, on Ching Cheong’s infamous
report on the 120 hounds used to devour Jang Song Thaek, the uncle of
Kim Jong Un and the second in Command.
