E-readers & Tablets: Defeating the Digital Myth

For those naysayers out there who blame the media for everything, a little grist for the mill (both compliments of newspaper hacks in the Windy City): Mrs. O’Leary’s cow didn’t kick over a lantern that started The Great Chicago Fire in 1871.

Both were fabrications by writers trying to add personality to what should have been mundane, yet honest and accurate, accounts of what actually happened.
