Very talented film editor. All of his documentaries are basically cut and paste screen shots of old stills made less dull with pans across and in, sound effects and voice overs by actors, with the occasional filmed interview with historians or, in the case of "The War", still living participants in the events portrayed. They are some of the best and most watchable history television ever done.

But none of that makes his opinions about much of anything worth more than a pitcher of warm spit. He should stay in the editing room where he belongs and, oh yeah, GET A FRIGGIN' HAIRCUT! The whole page boy bangs look went out after the first time the Beatles took Acid.

It would be nice to see those subjects done by someone with real talent and taste.

Take away the facial hair and I believe you got yourself a genuine lesbian relationship there.

Make ONE popular doc 25 years ago, and he thinks he is just the philosopher king.

Why, he could be the next Garrison Keillor

and did John Dickerson laugh at that twisted logic?

No?

Too bad, that’s what needs to happen

One of the funniest things on the tube. This guy really nailed the “Burns effect”. The guy in space was the best. “It's f*((ing cold up here.” The wrecked Cadillac on the moon was priceless.

Appearing on CBS’s Face the Nation Sunday, documentary filmmaker Ken Burns told host John Dickerson he believes America is still a racist nation, and those who have questioned the legitimacy of President Obama’s birth certificate, namely, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, have done so as an alternative to using the N-word.

Burns is no more than a cheap propagandist.

Anti-white bigot Ken burns has made an entire, very lucrative career on making “documentaries” based on his own anti-white self loathing bigotry.

Ken Burns doesn’t realize how dumb he sounds to rationale people when he says such things. So much respect is lost when that happens.

I have to quote a lovely sounding Black lady as she had a really good discussion with Rush Limbaugh; “Liberalism is what smart looks like to stupid people.”

It just seems to apply to Ken Burns and his Liberalism.

Jefferson I think said the following and it shows you who just won the argument.

“When the law is on your side you argue the law, when the truth is on your side you argue the truth. If neither is on your side you call them names, yell, and pound on the table.”

So when they resort to name calling you won the argument.

They’re coming out of the woodwork now. Not a coincidence. The memo is spread “Trump supporters are white racists”.

I remember the Ken Burns Civil War series that totally whitewashed the atrocities of Sherman’s March through Georgia and South Carolinq.
