And
less politics. It seems that all of the
history sites are talking about Trump instead of historical topics. Take History News Network produced by George
Washington University, for example. http://historynewsnetwork.org/
Its
mission is to cover the history field but hit the link above to see what it has
become. Virtually every article is about
him. Him. That guy.
Authors
are supposed to submit resumes together with their articles to ensure that they
are authorities on the topics they submit.
What does that matter anymore when all of the articles resemble a
newspaper op-ed?
Yes,
I know that not all of the history sites are doing this. And I admit that I produce political content
from time to time, though pieces such as that Nancy Pelsosi Fact File is for
education purposes only. My Fact File
pieces only list biographical information that is essential. These and all current history posts by myself
constitute only a tiny part of History Moments output.
My
complaint isn’t that history sites produce some politics; my complaint is when
the politics crowd the history content right out.
