A great example of why you should never trust any story from a single source. Traditional journalism ethics requires multiple independent sources. Modern organizations don’t give a shit about that anymore, it’s just about the clicks.
“There are three sides to every story: your side, my side, and the truth. And no one is lying.” - Robert Evans
Every account of past events is like looking out of a window at the world outside. Things that are nearby are clearly visible, things further away are hard to see in detail, some things are hidden behind others… and you probably can’t look at everything in view of your window all the time anyway.
The accounts might be misleading, not because the source has bad intentions, but because their perspective is limited by their time and place, and what they focus their view on.

Robert Evan’s quote needs to be updated as there are many people who are definitely lying.
