News is literally a story we tell each other to reinforce beliefs about the world.
Truth has no relation to news and news is not about observation of fact.
Even if you witness events yourself, your understanding of what occurred is a narrative you tell, not truth.
All truths and history are interpretations within religious (or ideological) frameworks. Truth as we use the word is not attainable.
There are no exceptions to this!
