At the end of each full topic I'm going to do a live on camera episode called "Lies" where we talk about all the lies we told you and the mistakes we made. Here at the beginning I'm not always getting to see the finalized versions before they go out, so there's bound to be some errors (I noticed a fair share of minor but non-negligible errors in this when I saw it this morn...

Was it an act of terror or a heroic strike for freedom? History does not look as kindly on Gavrilo Princip as he hoped it might.
Sneak Peek! Anger Born of Ideals
So often and so sadly linked.
Sneak Peek! Oh, If Only...
