How will the past 10+ years go in history books when we have fake news?

[sage2021]

We have been able to believe our history books for the most part. We had history books 📚 in school that we never questioned.
But we've had fake news for so many years, how will these 10+ years be written in the history books? Wouldn't they contradict each other depending on which books you are getting your history from?

When one reads real history books, one finds that school text books are as shallow and biased as mainstream news. They teach a desired narrative. That has always been the case.
So it has will always been, and will continue to be, necessary to do deep research in order to learn hidden historical facts and gain realistic perspectives.

One example that blew my mind was "Hidden History: The Secret Origins of the First World War". But that is just one example.

There will be plenty of books written about how President Trump was the worst president we ever had. These books will get all the publicity and the few that talk about all the accomplishments that have happened and will happen will end up forgotten.

The proliferation of fake news in the past decade presents a significant challenge for historians. History books will likely highlight this era as one of information overload, where digital media transformed the landscape of news dissemination. The key will be in distinguishing credible sources from unreliable ones, emphasizing media literacy. History will acknowledge the tensions between misinformation and factual reporting, detailing how societies navigated these challenges. Ultimately, future historians will likely adopt a nuanced approach, scrutinizing multiple perspectives to provide balanced accounts of events during this period.

The entire world is watching, not just America. Whatever delusions Americans might be living under, the rest of the world is recording all of it accurately and without self-bias, especially in this day and age where we have the internet and social media, and it’s easy to follow things elsewhere.

Earth-Proper will tell us what our history was when it’s all said and done.

now it makes me wonder just how much truth there is in history books... compared to embellishment by the victor...

With AI, get used to becoming an investigative reporter from now on. Trust nothing; verify everything.

Many things have already been faked in the history books, and especially on wikipedia.
