It's ironic that the documentarian best known for a television series about the Civil War seems to have forgotten the Civil War. That is the only conclusion one would have to make about PBS filmmaker Ken Burns because on Friday's The 11th Hour With Brian Williams, after briefly discussing Robert E. Lee and Woodrow Wilson, he declared that "this is the most fraught time I think in the history of our republic."
Really, Ken? More fraught than the American Civil War that you chronicled in which over half a million died? Well, according to the sanctimonious lecture provided by Burns, these times are even worse because of "misinformation and paranoia and the lying voter suppression."
He's saying this to Brian Williams, who is known for misinformation. There's a lecture about Critical Race Theory, and Burns cartoons the conservative (and common sense) opposition as usual.

“It wants domination over the whole thing and its people.”
It wants domination over everything and all peoples. It will tolerate no opt-outs, even by some renegades that manage to escape to Pluto. Any evidence that this worldview is fatally flawed must be destroyed. Only when no soul can imagine anything better than grinding totalitarian misery, can there be paradise.
I agree with Burns re the Nat’l Organization for Women!
Shelby Foote was upset at the way PBS and Ken Burns edited his commentary, on The Civil War series produced for government television.
Burns is a paid propagandist. His historical revisionism is appalling, but I’m sure it warms his heart to be paid so handsomely for it.
Well, I guess if the Northern States had just let the Southern States Secede there wouldn’t have been a Civil War and 700,000 People wouldn’t have been Killed.
Simple as Pie. #;^)
PBS Star Ken Burns - that says it all. Who cares what the little turd has to say?
Good Lord - he could pass for Jimmy Carter’s brain-damaged twin brother...
Ken is right, because we are entering the phase of history where the one-world dictatorship of the antichrist is coming on board, ushered in by godless libtards.

15He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. 16 He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, 17 so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. 18This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man’s number. His number is 666.

Star?.................
But Ken is blaming it on the folks who oppose the dictatorship.
Never trust a liberal twit with a bad haircut.
Of course he is. The godless usher in the antichrist’s dictatorship and blame it on the godly.
Yeah Burns. I know all the boys killed and wounded at Gettysburg and Shiloh wouldn’t trade places for today gay libtard keyboard whining.
The Civil War documentary was great television. It just was. Everything he’s done since has been lesser. Look up the term ‘Has-Been’ in the dictionary and there’s a picture of Ken Burns.
Useful idiots like this fool really have no idea what comes next.
And their masters will toss them under the buss the moment their utility ends.
Overall, Foote was very complimentary of Burns’ civil war documentary. He had some minor criticisms about balance and some things left out. Yet, he also acknowledged that you couldn’t cover everything in just 11 hours. He’s an interview where he discusses the documentary.

Showers, AC.....right there now wins.
I thought the part I saw of the Hemingway doc was excellent. I did not see the whole thing.
Well supossibly 1/2 Million have already died/been killed and no one is willing to hold the PRCs who committed this mass murder to account! Not US and not the World!
He’s good at making films. He’s lousy at history. His civil war series was one sided PC Revisionist trash. This is typical of Leftists like Burns.
