History is written by those in power~
This is STILL true today even with the internet and social media.
I hope that a lot of people are aware but I know many are not as I have seen it here even on Steemit so I shall share a little bit of important info.
Snopes website of which people go to believing they are getting the inside scoop and been PROVEN to be run with an agenda that is not built upon truth but bias. So millions of people do a search to get "the truth" then wind up just getting what big brother wants them to get.
Same with wikipedia of which is widely believed to be one of the best sources of information and "facts" is also corrupt and there is a lot of information that is taken out, kept from being put in or changed. Now this does not mean that EVERYTHING on Snopes or Wikipedia is false it just means you can't trust what their version of "the truth is"
It is also been proven that google and all its tentacles is part of the big brother machine and while again there is a lot of good information on there it is highly censored. Of course FB is like that and there are countless stories of activists or truths being censored.
So learning to do research properly is a very valuable skill as the truth is actually quite hard to find.
