There can be only one provable truth, all else is untrue. Just as people who lie can no longer be called honest.
Your example sounds more like a partisan TV debate more than something where facts are established to advance understanding, perhaps to solve a common problem.
The historian can complain all he wants, cinema was never intended to write history. Might as well complain that a cow is not a pig.
