If filmaking (and the legal system) teaches us anything, it is that a powerful case can be presented for virtually anything. And with enough money, you can spread the word and win. Some great fact-based documentaries, ranging to those with only a modicum of truth. Add some provocative images and emotional material and a movement can be born, from any POV just ask FoxNews or Dinesh D'Souza. Or all the usual 20th century propagandists east and west. P.S. For me, western education should stress the history of BS and the tools we all need as BS detectors; not merely memorizing taxonomy and equations to pass tests. For example, the study of comparative religions, but not the study of One "scripture" as Truth (capital O capital T.) There are some complicated cultural obstacles to my vision here. Also, the understanding of systems and processes that while "fact based" are dynamic, not fixed-ends. This is where I think people who say education is always the answer -- do not go far enough.
