Fred, I think, is a bit too charitable to these so-called authoritative voices of of the fabled Fourth Estate. The truth is they know the history but as Orwell so presciently wrote, they have deliberately consigned it to the “memory-hole”. These turgid propaganda mills are the outstanding practitioners of “double-speak” and “double-think”.

The sad part is the journos who churn out this pablum may in some instances want to tell the truth but know that doing so will drastically curtail their career and the ability to put food on the table. Some of course revel in the role of missionary for misinformation and indoctrination. It may be the only thing that gives meaning to their otherwise pointless existence, Others still actually believe the historically blind banalities that emerges from their callow psyches.

It needs to be remembered that the clearly stated intention of the social elites of Western culture for the last century has been to control the populace by controlling the narrative. That is the function of these organs of indoctrination. What they disseminate is largely the inverse of reality and truth!!
