History is what we remember of the past
It is not truth in the whole
As our memory changes so does our history
News is not what matters but what sells
It is a democracy of the dollar
What makes the news is what we remember
Control the news and you control history
Author's Notes/Comments:
The man who almost single-handedly propelled us into the 20th Century with his inventions in audio (phonograph), lighting (incandescent bulb), electricity to the home, telephone carbon transmitter, motion picture camera (kinetoscope), and the first full length feature movie (The Great Train Robbery) is not even known to most school kids. But try to find one who doesn't know Michael Jordan. What's wrong with this picture?
