People thought it would actually be illegal for a tv or movie to drastically falsely portray history so if they saw it on TV they assumed huge numbers of historians and lawyers had made sure it was all correct.

Not trying to start a generational pissing match, but in my observations a lot of people around your age and older STILL have this delusion

I see it a lot with older family. TV man says X, and X is the law. It makes them really susceptible to the evening news, for example, which is an absolute cesspool of all this evil shit

Younger generation is being duped with the same mentality but instead via social media

Yeah. Its just hard to believe that the news or movies will not only bend the truth but completely make it up.

In movies people think the accurate story must be told. Some believe they can they can change it a little for dramatic effect. Almost none realize they can completely make it up and still call it the real story. That movie about the black butler in the white house was a perfect example. Whole movie was a lie. The only true thing was there was a black guy who worked at the white house a long time. https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2013/08/16/top-5-butler-inaccuracies/
