Oh, but it can be much more than that. The possibilities are endless.

  • If an embarrassing war, famine or recession is mentioned in the article, exclude that from the summary.
  • If the article is mostly about such a forbidden topic, focus on any irrelevant minor aspect, no matter how small. An article about a war is condensed into a summary that talks about gardening.
  • Always include a line praising the local tyrant, even if such a thing wasn’t even mentioned in the original article.
