It gives you pause to think that the first resource for historians 200 years from now will be the newspaper accounts of the day. When you realize how distorted most of the coverage is, and the smear campaigns they have orchestrated against very decent men, it makes you realize that probably much of what we "know" about our own history is a caricature.

Good point. As is said, journalism is the first draft of history. And thanks to the distortions of the MSM, historians will have to work hard to uncover the truth of our age.
