The trivially easy method for bad actors to create "new information" is to lie. This often can be accomplished by leaving out a single line of context. In other instances, the lie is more brazen. Politics is little more than a debate over the final authority to establish and contextualize facts, and the moral authority that arises out of that victory to tax and legally suppress the political competition.

It is axiomatic that those who mostly win at establishing the facts are those who have most of the political and social power.
