Noun Phrase
/ˈʧɛr.i ˈpɪk.ɪŋ/

Cherry Picking Fallacy

Selecting information that supports a conclusion, while leaving out significant evidence to the contrary.

Example: 

Person A: “Drinking raw milk isn’t more dangerous than drinking pasteurised milk. Here’s a study discussing an outbreak of infections due to contamination of pasteurised milk!”

In this instance, person A leaves out evidence on outbreaks related to raw milk consumption, or studies on the potential risks of consuming raw milk, etc.
