By the way: it is my understanding, a personal, subjective understanding based on reportage and accounts from other people that I have read, presented here as a statement of my own opinion and not a relation of specific facts, that the claim that Shiva Ayyadurai invented email is laughable.

I wouldn't disagree with that. None of that is really relevant, however.

It's not relevant whether the source you presented for your claim that the media got the Boston right-wing rally wrong is himself (a conclusion I've drawn from sources and reporting and, to be clear, a statement of pure opinion and not of fact, and I will remind you: opinion about a very public figure) habitually dishonest?
