Excellent point! I'd add to your comment about "facts changed to match author's views" that new texts are written to match current political correctness. All too often historical events are "spun" to reflect current sociological viewpoints and the true significance of the event is lost due to the corruption of the context of the time.
Hi NightHiker
From 1984 by George Orwell;
Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.
the quote just popped into my head; Darn that PHRASECENSOREDPOSTERSHOULDKNOWBETTER. State controlled conspiracy of political indoctrination from English Literature class (actually first read it in 1984).
We need specific examples please !! (sorry about the use of the 'royal'
we BTW)
