Limited Hangout Psyop

A limited hangout or partial hangout is a tactic used in media relations, perception management, politics, and information management. It originated as a technique in the espionage trade and involves admitting some truth while withholding key and damaging facts. According to Victor Marchetti, a former special assistant to the Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), this tactic is used when the veil of secrecy is shredded, and a phony cover story can no longer be relied upon to misinform the public.1

The tactic is designed to intrigue the public with new information, making them less likely to pursue the matter further.14 This strategy has been used by the CIA and other intelligence organizations to manage information and control public perception. ~ Source: Brave search AI response
