Your first stament is wrong. Theater requires you lie to your audience. For example, there are two movies coming out about Abraham Lincoln this year: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0443272/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0443272/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1611224/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1611224/ Clearly one of these is an outright fabrication of the events of Lincoln's life. In the other Steven Spielberg is going to produce a film that is 100% fabricated and yet people are going to gush about the truth of Abe Lincoln that it captures. The sets will be fake. Most of the dialogue will be made up and dramaticized. No one will question this. No one will care. Mike's issue was that he wanted to do more and he shouldn't have. He should have stayed off of NPR, out of print, and off the talk shows. I still think that his show is closer to "Lincoln: The sixteenth President of the United States guides the North to victory during the Civil War" than "Abraham Lincoln - Vampire Hunter: Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, discovers vampires are planning to take over the United States. He makes it his mission to eliminate them."
