Government's Witholding of the Truth

How would it be possible for a government to keep the truth from it's citizens?

- The government might tell only part of the truth and keep the other part untold for some reasons.
- The government might take the truth and replace it with lies believable to citizens.

For what reasons did the government want to control or manipulate information?

-So that citizens might not leave that particular government they are in now and move to what citizens think is a better government to live with.
-So that citizens do not rebel against the government.
-To prevent citizens from thinking negative of the government.
