Spicer in today's press conference: "Our intention is to not lie to you", but sometimes the Trump administration will "disagree with the facts". Notice he said "disagree with", not "dispute" or "challenge".
Facts are facts - they're neither right nor wrong, they're just things that have been proven to be true. If you disagree with truth, you're lying.
What Spicer was basically saying is that we don't intend to lie to you, but sometimes we will.
This quote from George Orwell's "1984" should be read in context with Spicer's insistence on Saturday that this was the biggest inauguration ever - period!:
"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command... and if all others accepted the lie, which the party imposed, if all records told the same tale, then the lie passed into history and became truth".
