Sometimes they’re right though.
Of course not if it’s a verifiable fact, but as I’ve grown older, I have seen plenty of historical “facts” getting proven to be wrong. All it takes is for a young mind to challenge the existing views.
Having an open mind is more important than being right. Most inventions happen by accident while pursuing something else, something wrong.

Its also our opinions are shaped generally by news cycles. Republicans seem to memory hole stuff like january 6th by repeatedly painting over bits of it over time.
But there’s also instances where the initial cycle paints an incorrect picture. If you want examples on this see just about every episode of the dollop, particularly “africanized honey bees”
