cherry pickers

Orchard harvesting machines

Cherry pickers are people who selectively choose only the evidence, facts, or options that support their position while ignoring the rest: The report cherry-picks data to make the economy look stronger than it is.

A cherry picker is also a hydraulic lift with a bucket for raising workers to high places—used for utility work, tree trimming, and warehouse operations.

The name comes from the original use: reaching fruit in orchards.
