A few potential answers: 1) Disinfo necessary; 2) propaganda footage but subsequent factual landings; 3) some sort of alternate definition of moon in the vein of "learn our comms." Or of course 4) it's real, but that seems off the table from your question.
Reasonable take. Trust me, I wish I could admit that there was a possibility that the apollo missions, as sold to the public, were real. But there are so, so many obviously faked things about them that I cannot in good faith say that they were real.
