Answer:

- Omission to support Alonzo.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reporter employs 'omission' in order to 'support Alonzo' that helped him to not let the public know that 'She has never had an educational career'. The reporter here 'lies by omitting' due to which he excludes the description of her educational career and rather diverts the people emotionally by mentioning 'her volunteering experience with local disabled children. He lies honestly by omitting certain details. Thus, he uses 'omission to back/support' Alonzo's claim'.
