Memory construction is a hell of a thing... and we definitely are experiencing a new version of it with video, with rewind... and now with fake video creation.
But back in the day when you didn't see anything - and you just got one vivid entertaining newspaper report, what does that do? Many of us are quite excellent at creating images to go along with a description - and then that becomes the memory.
But possibly even more interesting - is how much this intersection of news, story creation and noteriety have been doing this dance for as long as there have been newspapers... which is for less time than we think.
Also there's a wedding to plan... So stay tuned for that next week!
As always - you can reach us on the internets.
