That sure is some Orwellian newspeak, or a real dolt thought that up, or both.

Facts are not truth, truth is facts. Our truth trumps facts. To have the facts is to not have the true truth that we have.

They should just call the site: The Ministry of Truth or Minitrue.

Love Big Bother.

I always thought that by definition, facts = truth. The dictionary definition of fact is "a thing that is known or proved to be true." True is defined as "in accordance with fact or reality," and therefore truth is "that which is true or in accordance with fact or reality." So "Truth Over Facts" is just a tautology (defined as "the saying of the same thing twice in different words" ). Kind of like "Fat Over Obese" or "Stupid Over Brainless" or "Deranged Over Daft."

"We have to choose hope over fear, unity over division, and maybe most importantly, truth over lies" as an applause line in his speeches.

I believe he misspoke that day and said facts when he meant to say lies...heck I have brain farts sometimes too.
