Anyone born before last week can see US news media lying about history as it’s happening.
That’s the power of history as told.
A power well understood by James Loewen, the historian and author who died August 19 at the age of 79.
Some US media are now lauding Jim Loewen, but without ceasing to generate the very sort of misty misinformation he fought against.
CounterSpin spoke with James Loewen in July 2015.
