With journalism (and propaganda) truth and falsehood are not as important as what you leave in and what you leave out and how you present it.

When it comes to propaganda it is always better to deceive people with truth than with lies because lies can be disproven. The art lies in framing snippets of truth in the correct way, leaving larger truths out, to achieve your desired goal of perception manipulation.

Objective journalism can be just as powerful as a tool of deception as it is as a tool of enlightenment.
