The TV happened to be on the "History Channel" a day or so ago and there was a program on Chrisianity.
I was astounded when they used the term "common era" to date an event. Not much doubt as to the bias of that program.

Yeah, the History Channel has been doing that for several years now. The first time I encountered this, it took me a few minutes to figure out exactly what "B.C.E." meant, and once it dawned on me, I was more than annoyed at the pretense.

I am 68 years old and was taught in grammar school that BC meant before the common era.
It really had nothing at all to do with bias in my 'olden days'.
