I agree; as we see in the following, the objective truth is more of a "truth of the day."

Yes - the Soviet press was pretty good at that. As the saying used to go, "There is no truth in Pravda, and no news in Izvestia." (Pravda is the Russian word for truth, and izvestia the word for news.) Unfortunately, I understand the Russian media are falling back into old patterns.
