Why is it difficult to interpret recent history and current events? there are numerous and variable interpretations of events and their significance. historians and journalists cannot agree on the accuracy of recent historical events. there is too much data available regarding recent history and current events. too many people use the same data to interpret recent events?

I believe the answer is: There are numerous and variable interpretations of events and their significance.

In examining history, we have to see each events from the perspective of all the individuals and groups that are involved in the story.
If we only make an interpretation based on one individual;s or one group's point of view, the information would most likely catered in a way that make them appear to have positive attitude/characteristics.
