Much like it will be in 100 yrs and people look back on today. They will use what they find to there advantage and what they find will be very one sided. Funny how history can dramatically change in 50yrs.

It's very true. Politicized Historians are the worst. No matter whether the politics agrees with me or not, it's fraud to twist or spin History to suit a political agenda of the current day.
But it's been going on for centuries. Is it true that Shakespeare's play "Richard III" portrays R.III in a decidedly negative light for political reasons? Of course, a play is not History, but, even today, many fools will watch a Hollywood film and believe that they are watching History. Wouldn't the 16th Century English commoners be even more convinced that a work of fiction would be actual History?
