Not really a lie but I’m surprised how little they covered major international events, especially wars like WWI/WWII/Korea/Vietnam, etc.
All of them were basically a 3 paragraph maximum excerpt before you went back to reading about some random local policy or societal change that didn’t really matter in the grand scheme of things.
Biggest lie though was teaching kids that secondary sources like news publishers were reliable sources of information lol. NYT and the Washington Post sucked a long time before the internet. WP especially was just straight Imperialist propaganda sometimes.
Just because they’re not a primary source doesn’t mean they can’t be biased or reporting false information.
