>There is an objective truth

When it comes to the issues that "news" covers for the most part, this is highly debatable (and debated) claim.

There are facts that you can state, but even then, there is the choice about which ones to mention and which ones to leave out. Or even which ones to state first.

With your example you can still be misrepresenting the truth, which is essentially deception aka “lying”

[PaulDavisThe1st]

If there's more than 1 fact, there has to be an order to presenting them. If that's lying, how can there be truth?

Oh please. It would be in degrees. You can minimize those degrees. Or you can maximize them to the highest level that the intelligence of readers can tolerate. Which seems to be exactly what is occurring in the media today.
