Even though I had been conditioned to expect something of a victim fest,
I was surprised that it is clearly the central theme.

I hope some reputable group like The Media Research Center does an
intense anaylsis of the series.

At the rate it's going I get the feeling (without analyzing) that
PBS and Burns decided "no more than 30 minutes of real war documentary
between each "America was awful then" gripe-session".

I'm all for mentioning the downsides for some of our citizens who
got a raw deal while serving honorably.
I guess Burns thought "only college professors, some Ivy League students
and Dennis Kuchinich (sp?) would watch if I had ONLY the gripe-sessions
in a documentary on WWII".

I tape the show and FF when the home front is shown especially Manzinar and Mobile.

Okay...I'm sure this is not an original thought...but, I have to ask.

Why is it conservatives and other normal people have completely conceded Hollywood and the media to the liberals? (I deliberately excluded academia because I realize it's hopeless).

Is there not a studio or network out there even slightly interested in bankrolling an accurate account of anything...or does it all have to be liberally biased?

Hey, here's a novel concept: let's shoot the moon and find some struggling producer willing to put together the first-ever conservatively-biased account of some/any event in America's history.

I know I may be pipe dreaming here, but why is that (seemingly) such an unattainable dream...and why are we forever wallowing in liberal bias?

Rodney Dangerfield had a joke that went "I went to a fight last night and a hockey game broke out".

I went to watch a documentary on WWII last night and a Ivy League class on victimology was presented instead.
