His “National Parks” was unwatchable. Pompous, pretentious, full of flaky people trying to sound profound about the spiritual qualities of the outdoor experience. Burns is an effete snob whose success has gone to his head.
I recently watched Ken Burns’ documentary on the Roosevelts. Very fascinating. I learned quite a lot. I have a lot of respect for Teddy’s conservation efforts. But not his imperialism. I have a lot of respect for FDR‘s guidance through the war. But not the depression. Of course I have no respect whatsoever for Eleanor.
