is to make money, lots and lots of it, through entertainment. The truth takes a back seat where profits are concerned. Hollywood loves sensationalism and distorted exaggerations because it sells. They are spin masters. Anyone who thinks that they can get a good education from Hollywood is delusional.

The Exorcist was claimed to be based on a true story but the film completely distorts what happened. Go to watch films for entertainment, that's fine. To get an education people need to go to reliable sources. The media is not reliable either. The age of the internet has enabled rumors, falsehoods, wild conspiracy theories to proliferate as never before.

I never saw Inherit the Wind. I am not familiar with the details of the case.
