One of my best History professors taught us a valuable tool in being able to truly understand events in their own time.
"Nothing is ever, nor has ever, been written simply for the sake of being written. Everything was done for a specific purpose in mind."
So regardless of who writes it, I always try to determine the exact slant of the piece.
