This leads to a series of interesting questions. How will history be recorded if the printed word vanishes? Will digital informatioon be changed or totally disappear?
Now this is not a new question. It has been said the victors(it is meant for wars but can equally apply to politics)write the history books. So history has always been subjective.

historians worth their salt figure out to cut through selfs serving and agenda driven BS, so my guess is that much of the Sun’s recent editorial work and lots of it’s coverage of resume gate and LHAgate will be filed under fiction writing, so not to worry. The Sun and The Star are a pair!

Bob… file it under badly written fiction. You would find it on the dollar table at a low end book sale. Lyle isn’t just dangerous because of the strings attached; he’s actually vicious and enjoying the attention that he believes gives him credibility. In his small mind, he thinks it’s great since any publicity is good publicity.
He’s actually up for a newspaper award as ‘rookie of the year’. Can you think of anything more VYLE!

Yeah well, that paper in many instances gets lauded when it really ought not to.
Individual reporters aside (as there are some there I love) it’s hard to see how anyone can really say objectively that what goes in their pages is really award-worthy. Though, the newspaper industry does so love to pat itself on the back, second only to Hollywood…
I also notice that the best reporters that do the best job at the Sun often get moved around to where they can do the “least harm” as per the perspective of “the editor.”
