(62,325 posts)A 'fact' cannot be 'interpreted in more than one way' to turn it into a lie, that is why it is called a 'fact' not 'an opinion'.
When a lie is told, such as 'Assange is wanted on charges of rape', that is not just a wrong opinion, it is a lie.
The fact, which cannot be interpreted in more than way' is that Assange is NOT wanted on rape charges because there are no such charges and never were. That is a fact.
How do you interpret that fact in 'more than way'?
If you are Fox, there is only one way to do that, you continue to lie about it.
And who would want to 'interpret the fact in more than one way'? War criminals and their supporters. Because Assange revealed evidence of their crimes.
Ethical people otoh, regardless of their political views or dislikes want the facts and will not, once they have them, attempt to 'interpret them in more than one way'. That is how we recognize ethical people.
