I am watching Oliver Stone's "Untold History" and, wow, I have to say ...

[Confusious]

87. I already did, but you seem to want to get your outrage on

It's right up there.

Was it all therefore inaccurate, one sided bullshit?

History doesn't record every detail of everything. What was Alexander's the greats favorite food? I'd like to know. Unfortunately we'll never know. Doesn't mean it one sided, just means we don't know.

There are things we do know, and those thing Stone likes to leave out, and include "opinion" (like Wallace) with no proof things would have been different one way or the other, or even worse. That's what makes it bullshit.

The history of America will not tell the history of your town

No it won't. You look up your town's history in your town. The United States, as a country, takes actions independent of a town, or a state. You look at the actions the GOVERNMENT takes. Now if the GOVERNMENT has some interaction with your town as an independent entity, then it becomes part of US history, like the United States government putting riots down in New York during the civil war.

If you can't see that, it's willful ignorance.

Thus it is incomplete and apparently therefore bullshit....

Or you're being disingenuous. (Means not candid or sincere, typically by pretending that one knows less about something than one really does)
