The History Channel...What A Shame.


....that they could not find in their archives video about LABOR and US HISTORY... Media always seems to forget LABOR except when they can show it in a bad light like when they strike to make conditions better for non union workers in the long run....


Cant you do better...

1. What makes you think that the History Channel cares
about history? I quit watching it years ago because every time I put it on, all it had was Hitler or WWII and lots of bizarre quasi-religious things. I think that they have an agenda, and I am not interested in that agenda.

2. It was good in the 1990's
Back when it's audience was small and more highly educated. They used to do actual history. Then somewhere around 2000 it became History entertainment.

3. The good, bad, and ugly. CSPAN covers the Tea Party. However, LINKTV has Chris Hedges "Calling All
Rebels". This is a speech every member of DU should be forced to watch. He is calling out for militant action against the corporate state. He is The Left. He is just about all we really have on the left.

So there is some hope. No CSPan. Not msnbc's bullshit Lockup program that is playing nonstop all weekend.
