It’s a nuanced thing.
I went to the Canadian National Exposition during the Cold War and came across a Soviet book store as an ‘exhibit.’
The prices were low so I picked up a few books. One was entitled “British Foreign Policy in World War II.”
The facts of the war were accepted by the USSR and the West. Everyone had the facts. But the interpretation or spin put on the significance of the facts was entirely self-serving for the Russians, casting them as winning the war despite the Allies.
Facts are facts. But facts may cast various shadows that have different truths from different angles. Truth may be arrived at, but facts are sturdier things, IMO.
There’s truth and there’s propaganda.
Facts support the truth.
Propaganda twists the facts.
Something the left is especially skilled at.
