Well, what's the point of having history at all then?
Historical accuracy? Nope.
But, it would just be easy meat for the media if it wasn't changed.
They better start remaking a ton of films then and re-writing history.
Burying or hiding or changing history is not being realistic.

Please tell me a time when history was not written/rewritten to serve some agenda?

This is why on most (all?) historical subjects there are multiple writings on the history from different viewpoints.
