A highly machinated truth. For example, Itachi willingly committed the Massacre whereas Obito machinated it so he was forced to do it. He lied about Izuna being forced to give his eyes. He lied about the Kyubi attack. He lied about Itachi failing to kill Sasuke (since he never intended to).

He took the truth and manipulated it to make the Uchiha blameless for the hatred, making the village the true enemy for their prejudice.

He lied about Sasuke's life being more precious than the Village, since Itachi was clearly all about the Village and the greater good. Danzo unknowingly confirmed Obito's machinations, so anyone clarifying the story would just come across as further lies. Obito lied about Itachi's lies, to cast doubt on Itachi.
