It depends on what you mean by "history". When historians try to set the record straight about issues that still carry some political significance, and where the popularly accepted picture isn't quite in line with the facts, that tends to get denounced as "revisionist history", with the implication it's a kind of lie. (And they get confused with other people who are in fact lying, such as holocaust deniers, and they both get given the same label as "revisionists")

Someone once commented of that that you never hear people denouncing "revisionist dentistry".

It takes an awful long time sometimes for the actual facts to get through into the popularly accepted version. By which time there may actually no longer be any popularly accepted version, because virtually the only people who still care are professional historians and hobbyists.

Who was it said "the winners may write the history books, but the losers write the songs?" Which is oversimplifying things too, but there's a truth in it, often enough.
