clearly this would still be a problem, but also clearly its not as bad as outright publishing lies. you never heard of one step at a time?

How would it be in any way better than publishing "outright lies" (an allegation you have not, incidentally, proven with respect to your OP) ?
If anything, the use of selected truths to mislead people is worse than the use of outright falsehood because the use of truth lends credibility to the whole story.
Quite apart from the chilling implications of the kind of State control you seem to want to see implemented over our print media, you really haven't thought this through at all, have you?
