There is always truth. You can skew facts to hide the truth, but that doesn't change it. Some truths are unknowable but that doesn't mean they aren't there, and these truths are open to debate, that debate always comes down belief or opinion. The problem comes when the knowable truths and unknowable truths are confused. By the way honest historians attempt to be at least minimally objective, and at least acknowledge their biases, if they don't then history simply becomes a story.
