4. Can't say I'd expect too much from the Hearst-story channel
Anything they have produced regarding historical events of the last 50 years is very biased towards the right wing sanctioned version of those events, so I don't expect them to handle more distant history any better.

Too bad there isn't a real "History Channel" NOT owned by a corporation whose very existence is based on right wing hack "jounalism" for the benefit of the robber barons.
