Read the linked post; this is not so. You can mislead with the truth. You can speak a wholly true collection of facts that misleads people. If someone misleads using a fully true collection of facts, saying they spoke untruthfully is confusing. Truth cannot just always lead to good inferences; truth does not have to be convenient, as you say in OP. Truth can make you infer falsehoods.
When I tried, it didn’t work. I don’t know why. I agree with the premise of your article, having noticed that phenomenon in journalism myself before. I suppose when I say truth, I don’t mean the same thing you do, because it’s selective and with dishonest intent.
