I have an alternate theory, but I will admit it is kind of far-fetched. Suspend your disbelief for a moment, please! It posits that time itself isn't changing, but it is <i>the facts around those events</i> that are the ones that changed...!

I know, you're thinking "right, and then what? Some cynical media owners exploit the un-thinking masses by feeding them misinformation or something. Like, people can't be that dumb to not notice how the narrative changes from one story to the next, let alone miss the glaring hypocrisy and contradictions." I know! Bear with me! Here's the devious part. It gets a little complicated:

See, then the people who own the media, see, they are like the over-class, and they conspire with other wealthy and connected folks to do things, like blow the budget up so high when they are in power, then when they are not in power, shriek at all the government spending on everything except bombs and tax cuts for people who pay lots of taxes -- that's the over-class, you see? -- and then they get the same un-thinking masses to believe that the only solution is to cut funding for things like education, which keeps the future generations stupid and un-thinking!

Yeah, I know, it's a reach. </i></i>
