If we think more along the lines that truth is in itself always a moral judgement, then in that light, influencing and informing again become the same thing.

For instance, if I were to say something and you were to disagree, you don't get to say that you're the one that's right and that you're the one that's informing people, and that I'm the evil influencer, without it being a moral judgement.

And if you think that you are actually some sort of oracle of truth, then calling your judgements truths is still a moral judgement, predicated on the belief in your infallibility.
