Give us a heads up, what is this about? I mean, what's the gist of it?
Give us something besides a link and vague title

When you don't keep hard records, the "truth" is subject to whatever the political winds say they are, because google doesn't show you what they don't want you to know, and the one article you want may be pulled from the news site or changed, even if you can wade through the flood of agitprop to find a link to it.

Could a book be written/published with falsities or extreme bias/prejudice that skews the 'truth?' I know the answer, Im just asking to raise the point
I agree though, reading rules. Ive got my library here, at least 200 books and it grows monthly...usually. Ive gotten rid of a few here and there.

sure, but even propaganda is valuable as a historical piece. but if you can't find anything but the history that is deemed acceptable because everything else has been emptied from the memory recycle bin, what do you do?
At this point, it's not even that "history is written by the victors" anymore, it's worse than that. history is written, but all other opinions are disappeared.
