    There is only one meaning for those words , so perhaps you are using the wrong words .
    Lets see

    From Websters the meaning of truth

    Quote Originally Posted by Webster's

    Pronunciation: 'trüth
    Function: noun
    Inflected Form(s): plural truths /'trü[th]z, 'trüths/
    Etymology: Middle English trewthe, from Old English trEowth fidelity; akin to Old English trEowe faithful -- more at TRUE
    1 a archaic : FIDELITY, CONSTANCY b : sincerity in action, character, and utterance
    2 a (1) : the state of being the case : FACT (2) : the body of real things, events, and facts : ACTUALITY (3) often capitalized : a transcendent fundamental or spiritual reality b : a judgment, proposition, or idea that is true or accepted as true <truths of thermodynamics> c : the body of true statements and propositions
    3 a : the property (as of a statement) of being in accord with fact or reality b chiefly British : TRUE 2 c : fidelity to an original or to a standard
    4 capitalized, Christian Science : GOD
    - in truth : in accordance with fact : ACTUALLY
    So for truth it looks like four definations are placed for consideration.

    Now for Bull

    Care to try again....

    Maybe you should subcribe to this outfit - they bring a whole new meaning to the concept of "truth in media"

    If there were always the truth in media, there would be no need for the Truth in Media

    Ever had a friend or a neighbor who waxed nostalgic about the "good old days" when "the world seemed so simple?" Who lamented the time when media always told the truth, at least as most readers thought? Who missed the days when patriotism, national pride or "motherhood and apple pie" weren't cynically snickered at by the "cool" liberal-globalists as old-fashioned ideas whose time has passed? Or who just thought that "life was more fun" back then?

    Well, if you're like the millions of Americans who feel that way today; who resent being ruled by the big business elites; who have lost trust in our once democratic institutions; who want to feel proud of their country again - wax nostalgic no more! Join the readers whom Bob Djurdjevic's editorials and columns have been enchanting and often moving to action. From business leaders to academics; from homemakers to economists; from clergymen to college students; from artists to soldiers - Djurdjevic's pieces have drawn a worldwide following and support.

    Edit: to add the truth in media link - to bad I could not find a smart alec smilie to go along with the sight at first - but here is one for now.
