We live in a society where most of, if not all information we know is brought to us through secondary knowledge. You have to trust that someone else is interpreting what they witnessed accurately and that the information wasn’t changed before it got to you. If there was a group of elite individuals (we can all at least agree that there are a group of people richer then everyone else) who control nearly everything you read, learn and see, it’s almost certain that they would manipulate the truth to their benefit.
