The only problem with this is that for the
majority of the people who
watched the show, what they saw was reality. We know better,
but they don't. So now people all over have this view of how things
went, and who these people are that at best is inaccurate, and at
worst is blatantly wrong.

invasion of Japan by the US that then prompted the Japanese to bomb Perl
Harbor. There is "artistic license" and there is "artistic license."
The technique is actually used in propoganda films quite a bit and is known
as "the big lie" and takes a huge untruth and wraps around it the very thin
veneer of truth so that the victim swallows the complete package.
