Not OP but I can imagine an example might look something like this: (Please note below is not my view, but a hypothetical)

Professor of history/analytical view of history may label Robert E. Lee a skilled tactician.

Someone on facebook posts a Robert E Lee post saying he was a skilled tactician.

'Skilled tactician' seeming to be positive stance on Robert E Lee running counter to the viewpoint that, as a confederate general, he was pure evil with no positive qualities, the story then gets flagged as false despite the historians assertions that he was a skilled tactician.
