That is more or less the main way the media in the US, the EU, and some other world regions, is operating right now.
For each major story, they remove all the real details, even the context, and just present you with a well crafted narrative which itself is mostly supported only by promises of inside-knowledge, secret/anon sources, and "proofs" that are never released.
Then after some time passes the details are re-introduced by the non-liars and the narrative collapses.
Except nothing changes because the general public has already been conditioned to want to be lied to daily and just moves on to the next fake-news story.

I don't normally comment on political topics, but who are you talking about here? Is the "they" in this sentence RT or Twitter? Both have huge incentives to misrepresent facts to make themselves look good.

Sounds about right. I just assume both parties are lying here.
They being the media. Journalistic integrity died years ago. We like to blame Russian for the last election outcome, but are quick to forget that mega corporations spent way more time and effort trying to sway the election. For some reason we are ok with Google trying to influence voters through recommends and search results, but aren't ok when Russian does the same thing using ads (on Google platforms). Google, Twitter, Facebook had no problem taking Russian money during the election.
It seems to be most people are focused on blaming Russian involvement instead of asking how much impact Google, Facebook and Twitter had on the election. It's the blame game and it's way easier to blame a foreign country.
