And the rest are mostly about Hitler, Hitlers dog, Hitlers secretary, Hitlers lunch.
Hence "Hitler Channel".

Similarly, if you have science in the name, no science is generally involved: Political Science, Computer Science, Exercise Science...
At least Literary Studies were honest enough not to call themselves a science (in English anyway).
AE Housman called it a science. Of course, the way Housman did it _was_ a science.
(If you haven't read Housman's prose, incidentally, it's a fine as his poetry, and very different.)

#33I thought the History Channel was already widely considered non-factual. Aren't half the documentaries about space aliens? "Source": http://www.cracked.com/funny-5720-the-history-channel/
Who doesn't like "ancient astronaut theorists"? http://chronicle.su/wp-content/uploads/tsoukalosaliens1.jpg
I think the ancient aliens theories are fun little 'what if' dips into scifi, but treating them seriously like History does is just stupid. And people who buy into that are equally stupid, if not more so.

#34i remember watching ww II battle documentaries, and they would be talking about a battle, say battle of the budge. and I would be like 'wait a second, that stock video footage was a corsair shooting a drone. then it hit me that almost all of the video shown on these things is just for aesthetics / effect and not actual footage from the topic in question. then it hit me, the news was actually doing the same thing! lik…
If you watch enough WW2 documentaries, you start to see the same clips across multiple documentaries. A lot of them don't seem to put much care into matching the visuals with the audio, but the ones that do seem to do a really good job.

And let's not forget a handful of American masturbatory documentaries. Like America: Story of Us or that one inventors series that did a really bad job of exaggerating events.

#36I wonder if History Channel will update their website with this information? It seems like if they actually give a damn about history, they should.
spoiler alert: They have not given a damn about history in a looong time.

Yeah, I wonder if they'll say aliens aren't real and it's embarrassing for grown men to be endlessly fascinated with Hitler when they don't know who their state representative is.

When I go thru Netflix UK, their catalogue listings would make me think they have something for Hitler. I mean, sure he had great negative impact n the UK, but it seems overboard. Or maybe it's me overreacting. I mean, seems so obsessive.

At least it's not footage of the Liaoning.
In German newspapers often pictures of planes are plain wrong.
