Through these examples, it becomes clear that the veil of omission is a powerful rhetorical device in political discourse. It shapes not only the content of the conversation but also the very issues that enter the public consciousness.

4. Historical Revisionism: The omission of historical events or perspectives can alter the collective memory of a society. This is evident in the way some textbooks may omit or downplay certain historical atrocities or social contributions of minority groups.

1. Selective Exposure: Politicians may choose to highlight certain aspects of a policy or situation while ignoring others. For example, a government might tout the economic benefits of a new policy without addressing potential environmental impacts

2. Issue Framing: The way an issue is framed can significantly influence public opinion. By omitting certain details, politicians can frame an issue in a way that garners support or downplays opposition.

The veil of omission operates on the principle that what is not said can be just as powerful as what is said. It's a form of communication that relies on the audience's lack of information to fill in the gaps, often leading to conclusions that align with the communicator's goals.
