half-truth

Instead, Donald Trump has delivered a stream of exaggeration, half-truths and outright lies about the war that echo the views of President Putin.

In the letter addressed to the Health Secretary Jeremy Miles, The British Dental Association Cymru Wales accused the Welsh government of pedalling "half-truths" about their messaging and statistics.

While Trump and allies seized on the announcements, the state's top election official, Republican Al Schmidt, has urged caution and warned voters to be aware of "half-truths" and disinformation circulating on social media.

Pennsylvania’s Secretary of State, Al Schmidt, said “spreading videos and other information that lack context and sharing social posts with half-truths and even outright lies is harmful to our representative democracy”.

"In short, you say truths, outright lies and half-truths in the middle, with an equal amount of enthusiasm and sincerity at all times," said Ms Riesman.
