Politicizing a summer movie (Buzz Aldrin on Deborah Norvile Tonight)
MSNBC ^ | May 28, 2004 | Deborah Norville Tonight

I caught the tail end of this. Trying to find a transcript of the whole thing? Anyone know where? Buzz Aldrin didnt look to happy with Emmerich. He said kids arent learning about "magnificent desolation" anymore the words he used to describe the moon during Apollo 11. They are learning "monumental deception". He talked about how teachers tell him they have a hard time competing with glitzy "conspiracy documentarys" saying we didn't go to the moon.

"Former Astronaut Buzz Aldrin cautions people from propaganda in mainstream media, saying that these can sometimes be a disservice. He mentions, as an example, the conspiracy theories that claimed that the walk on the moon was nothing more than special effects. “We're misleading a generation of people,” he says. “These days, teachers are frustrated that their students are beginning to suspect the government of lying to them on every turn. He also thinks that environmental concerns shouldn't be partisan. “I'd like people to be able to rely on credible [sources], respecting honesty between people rather then this bickering back and forth,” he said. “There should be no Democrat or Republican stance.”

Hail to the King Baby.

I get a real kick out of the idea that teachers are frustrated with history rewrites, all the while they participate in efforts to replace the telling of the history of Washington and Jefferson with the telling of Martin Leuther King and Rosa Parks. Yeah, cry me a river teachers.

Buzz is beginning to catch on. But environmentalism has been little more than left-wing ideology since before the first "Earth Day".

Writer-director Roland Emmerich, who will appear on Friday's episode of 'Deborah Norville Tonight' told the show that Art Bell's science fiction book “The Coming of the Superstorm” sparked his interest in global warming.

He also took Art Bell's advice and has decided to get a pet Chupacabra.
