I was once a fan of the History Channel. Recounting history without bias is a challenge, to be sure, but they seemed to do this reasonably well. For the last few years, though, their programming has been increasingly politicized, slanted to deliver a particular message. Programs are increasingly anti-Biblical, even if it means twisting plainly observable facts. They often lump Islam in with the Biblical traditions, as if it were somehow related (or at all legitimate). Their treatment of the so-called Civil War has also grown more favorable toward the Northern States, ignoring the South's desire for restored freedoms. Laced throughout most of their shows these days is an indoctrination to Evolution and Old-Earth fantasy--it's surprising where this drivel shows up. While there can be a scientific component to history, it seems History Channel's masters (A&E, ABC, NBC, Hearst) prefer delusion to fact and a priori conclusions to scientific method when they create their programming. Perhaps it's fitting that the History Channel is now history, as far as I'm concerned.
