Answer:

It is more likely that the live TV report on the war would be more accurate than a written account of the event AFTER it happened.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is more difficult for people to accurately remember details as time passes. The more years go by, the less people will remember. It's just human. The TV report is a recording of what actually happened and it won't lie or forget.

Hope this helps you and feel free to leave any questions in the comments!! :)

Answer: A book is likely to be more accurate with the information presented.

Explanation: The book written years later can be more complete and detailed because time benefits to the investigation of the subject and to collect information and declarations from people who survived or fighted during war. On the other hand, a live television report may be show only a part of reality, and it also may show only the scene that parties may want people see and believe. For example: In Argentina, during the Falklands's War, the government showed, by tv, that Argentina was clearily winning the war, but it was not so.
