How to use "Untruth" in context?
In our world today, we are constantly being bombarded with propaganda. Whether it be through our televisions, radios, newspapers, or the Internet, we are constantly being told what to think, what to believe, and what to do. This often times takes the form of "truths", which are nothing more than unsound and often false assumptions that are presented as fact.
We often hear discussions about the truth, and specifically about the truth about climate change. People on both sides of the debate seem to believe that their side is providing the only real truth, and that any evidence to the contrary is false.
