Seems to be true to history so far-but given it's PBS, I am skeptical.
The last thing I watched on PBS was years ago , Danger UXB
Thanks I will look it up. Ken Burns does breath life into history. Certainly from a left perspective, but not without vaule.
PBS can shove it up their community Obamaholes.
Shove often, shove deep.
Nope. But lemme guess...was Benjamin Franklin a....RACIST?
Ken is just has a slicker delivery than most when “re-interpreting” history.
I am a history buff, and his spin is consistently leftist.
And that was an excellent series.
Tell us how you really feel, don’t hold back!
It’s not on my PBS stations. I Checked 2 of them.
Yes, I have noticed that. Along with his strange creepy toupee. He always goes towards the leftist holy trinity-racism, sexism and homophobe
He did a good job on Prohibition. I really learned a lot that I later confirmed.
I’m surprised they’re honoring Ben Franklin during Gender Bender month.
Usually they try to stick to a steady diet of gender bending.
Have they got to the part yet where Franklin invents global warming?
I remember somewhere, someplace I heard that ole Benny was quite the player. He was quoted about going to England on trips to parlay with George III that he’d always look forward to going out on London town to do what he called “a-whoring”.
I respected the guy even more after hearing that.
Bingo. NPR and PBS should not exist. Why are taxpayers obligated to pay for their rants, their idiotic screeds? This has to stop. Let them get advertisers like everyone else in the industry and pay their own way. Why are they interminably glued to the teat of taxpayer money?
I read his autobiography when I was 14 or 15. I think it’s time I re-read that. He was a very interesting person.
Why doesn’t Ken Burns do a deep and thorough investigative documentary into the life of George Floyd, Michael Brown, or Trayvon Martin? Those are heroes of our time after all.
Or does he prefer to do documentaries about white people.
If you have a voice activated remote, say PBS Ben Franklin. I’m recording the series.
Yeah, ours has a Beatles sound-a-like on.
