189. No, I think it goes more like this:
Somebody's grampa is a WWII vet. Therefore, somebody's grampa is a hero. Ken Burns has made a super important documentary about WWII. Therefore, Ken Burns has made a super duper documentary about grampa. However, even though there are millions of people involved in WWII, grampa doesn't get a specific mention. Therefore, Ken Burns is a lifeless turd; a bigoted shitpile; and a rotten-to-the-core historical-revisionist and hater of all things good who should be jettisoned from the planet.

Except to a whole bunch of us who go "Wow - my grampa didn't get a mention, either; but, geez, it's a big war and a small documentary. Maybe we don't need to suffer a heart attack while trying to find something to be offended by, and just accept the documentary as it is for what it is."

But, far be it from me to ask people to act like adults in modern child-America.
