National geographic is not part of the Government, Still one has to wonder why they put on this fantasy exhibit.

National geographic is usually pretty much based on fact, why would they display artistically developed fiction.

Because a while back they veered left and are now firmly in the thrall of political correctness. Many here on FR noted it and pretty much have written off a once great organization.

Nat Geo has been putting questionable material in their magazine for years now. The usual means is cherry picking of facts and selective interpretations thereof (just like this exhibit). That's what makes it so insidious- strictly speaking they don't fabricate stuff, but only strictly speaking.

I use the opposite excuse from the classic Playboy one for NatGeo- I read it for the pictures, not the articles.

National geographic is a big promoter of the global warming hoax.

National Geographic and Smithsonian have been tools of the left for quite some time. I finally canceled my 25-year-long subscriptions about five years ago.

They have been infiltrated and need to be taken back by conservatives before I’ll give them another dime of subscription money.

I snort in their general direction.

Hahaha.

NG is a purveyor (think global warming) of lies wrapped in distortion surrounded by propaganda.

NatGraph has been eaten up with the politicallycorrect for many years. They just do it with prettier pictures than most.
