in terms of truthfull-ness i worry more about the older shit (say 1700's and earlier?) because, it would have been waaaaaaay easier to lie and get away with shit back then, then say durring world war II due to the lack of readiness to be able to conversate with other countries/leaders, lack of no video/picture proof of anything and so on... not saying it would even be hard to lie and get away with it on a large scale these days, but it sure as hell would of been aloooot easier then 300 years ago...
