'the' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'bare facts?' is the wordplay.
'bare' becomes 'naked' (synonyms).
'facts?' becomes 'truth' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'naked'+'truth'='NAKED TRUTH'
