Got it.

Thanks!

The most shocking thing I learned from the PBS documentary series was that the Civil War was funded by a grant from Exxon-Mobil. I didn’t even think Big Oil existed at the time of the Civil War.

Thanks for the ping. thread; posts. I’ve never seen any of Ken Burns’ stuff.

Ken Burns: Student of History—or Left-Wing Gasbag?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Left Wing gas bag.

Or in the alternative term: A utopian fascist propagandist.

Joseph Goebbels is his hero.

No wonder kids grow up not knowing the truth of real history

I saw revisions in school textbooks 25 years ago. When I taught, I'd point out the lies. It gets worse every day.

Like turning his ‘Baseball’ documentary into a Mario Cuomo campaign commercial?

Ken Burns rides the success of his Civil War documentary.... and inhabits a world that only exists in his mind. ALL of us wish liberal were like the hype they put out - and NOT like the goons and thugs they've shown themselves to be. Maybe Ken Burns can do a special on democrats paying violent street people to rough up Trump supporters WHILE feeding the press 'fainting couch' stories about 'violence'...

Two words:

Revisionist history.

Lies, lies, lies.
