Clearly. But if you can’t do it without resorting to deliberately misleading rhetorical sleights to imply something you believe to be true, the correct response is not to.
Or, more realistically, if you can’t substantiate a particular claim with any supporting facts, due to the limitations of the form, you shouldn’t include it nor insinuate it indirectly, especially if it’s hugely inflammatory. If you simply cannot fit in the “receipts” needed to substantiate a claim (which seems implausible anyway), as a journalist you should omit that claim. If there isn’t space for the evidence, there isn’t space for the accusation.
