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.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

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'.
