True, but why on earth would a ‘reputable’ cable network like The History Channel devote an hour to this man??

‘The History Channel’ is owned in part by NBC, GE and Microsoft. I can’t watch it without throwing a shoe at the TV, LOL!

I’m no History Major, but some of the ‘history’ they sell is just flat-out lies.

They love this ‘who-do-voo-doo’ stuff, and if they had their way, they’d prove that we didn’t win WWII.

Take that for what it’s worth...I’m going to make my own destiny. You should too. Prepare for the worst and pray for the best. :)

A good question. My guess is that they have to dumb down to get viewers. This is an alarming trend. The National Geographic Channel has similar fare; e.g., shows devoted to the goings on at various tattoo parlors around the country. The decline of our culture continues apace.

The History Channel has been adjusting facts for well over a year, along with "NatGeo" to fit the NWO consensus. I used to watch them extensively, now rarely.

The History Channel has long since given over to a melange of fairly accurate history and outright fictional nonsense. This crap is fiction. It draws viewers. What can I say?

Same reason that discovery covers UFOs and other paranormal events.

I don't find these channels to be "reputable" or fact based.

And there seems to be a lot of hyperbole in biographical presentations (even on PBS). IF IT WASN'T FOR THIS ONE PERSON, yadda yadda yadda.

I've seen reports on Galileo that totally ignored Copernicus but included numerous attacks on organized religion.
