Ken Burns National Parks Special is all leftist propaganda.

[AUH2O Repub]

I just got done watching the Ken Burns National Parks special. This is a show by, for and about tree huggers. They must have said five or six times how much better the parks are in Government hands than being run by private enterprise. They made everyone that tried to keep the parks in private hands to be nothing but evil. This even extended to keeping the parks away from the states and in the hands of the feds. Nothing but socialist drivel.

I started watching that drivel. Got bored and turned on the game. I normally don’t watch football when it has that moronic buffoon, Olbermann, on the show.

[ClearCase_guy]

What a shock!

[Rodebrecht]

Olbermann was preferable to this?

[dennisw]

Does he still have that Beatle haircut? It’s hard for me to take such a dude seriously

[Army Air Corps]

And this surprises you? This is the Proletarian Broadcasting System after all...

[HangnJudge]

Whoever was playing the guitar has to have
bleeding fingers now

The Government Does It Best message was pervasive

[AUH2O Repub]

Yeah, looks like a 60’s wannabe hippie.

[kempster]

I agree. I go out of my way not to watch football on NBC because of that fool Olberman. As much as I like football I am resigned to watching a movie with my wife. Sometimes it’s even a chick flick. This is so sad!

[ErnBatavia]

Unfortunately, National Park hirees closely resemble public school teachers: never got beyond “academia”....totally unable to compete in the private sector.....I could go on and on with this.

Last summer when I went to the UP, I found Tahquamenon state park to be far more enjoyable than Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.

Pictured Rocks was nice as far as scenery is concerned but the facilities were well below what they were at Tahquamenon.

[hinckley buzzard]

Your critique is quite anachronistic. Given the zeitgeist of the time and the virtually total absence of regulation or restraint, the qualities that made the parklands worthy of preservation in the first place would have been obliterated.

[AUH2O Repub]

Remember the NPS is the one that spent 8 million for a rest room facility in PA.

[smokingfrog]

Govt. owns too much land.

[FlingWingFlyer]

LOL! No. And neither was the game. I’m somewhere else now. Gary Sinese. CSI.

[AUH2O Repub]

Private business would have run the places properly. Still would. Think they would have killed the goose laying the golden egg?

[shield]

I had the sound off and just looked at the beautiful scenes of what The Lord created....I knew without ever hearing it what kind of crapola would be in this...he and PBS are a disgrace to all Americans. This creep proved himself in his WWII series and I wouldn’t ever be taken in again by this absolute insane radical leftist fool.

[Ditter]

I didn't see the show and while I agree with you on keeping the governments paws off our stuff and out of our lives, parks are a little bit different. If our parks were privately owned someone would build condos and golf clubs all over them. I love our state and National Parks and they should remain like they are, open for everyone to enjoy forever. Bash away, I don't care.

I've got so I can hardly watch anything on NatGeo or the Science channel anymore. They manage to tack on their obligatory global warming rant to any topic, even it it has no relation to global warming at all. I was watching a show on blue whales the other day, very interesting and informative until the spent the last 15 minutes with some kook saying global warming MIGHT cause the ocean currents to change, which MIGHT cause the Whales to move further south, which MIGHT increase competition with other whales for food, which MIGHT cause their population to decrease.

Yeah, and that great big whale spaceship from Star Trek IV MIGHT come and take them all away, but I'm not holding my breath.

Ken Burns, the Donald Trump of PBS, strikes again.
