Interesting.

Just recently, I was pondering the topic of misinformation about groups of people and historical figures getting passed down through the ages by third parties.

With the ineptitude and bias of our current news media, one can only shudder what future generations will think they know about events and people in our time.

Anyone who has ever been directly involved in an incident which is later reported on by the news media can attest to just how wrong they can get their facts.

There’s a book out called, Getting It Wrong, where the author, William Campbell, goes over some of the big media myths. It was good.
