Similarly, if you have science in the name, no science is generally involved: Political Science, Computer Science, Exercise Science...
Computer science at least in my experience of it, definitely involves lots of science. I can't speak for the others.

Thank goodness. It's really unpleasant to see such history-rewriting claims made in the global press based on such flimsy evidence.

They also went full on Jesus some years back. They're firmly in the blue collar reality TV camp now, its mostly truck drivers, pawn shops, and surprisingly, blacksmiths. Sorta like how the Sci Fi channel was all about pro wrestling, fantasy, action movies, pretty much anything but science fiction. When I was a little kid (a long time ago) the snarky wisdom was if a country had "democratic" in its name, it wasn't. The…
Don't forget Music Television.
i 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…

Oh shit there's this: >> The documentary, hosted by former FBI executive assistant director Shawn Henry, also alleges a cover-up, claiming that the US government knew of her whereabouts but did nothing to rescue her. So (former) government officials are promoting false notions of government conspiracies. It's all theater folks. We are being manipulated by everyone.
Another nifty example of how search engines and digitization are improving research. How would anyone have ever discovered that one super-obscure Japanese travel book happened to include one old black-white photo? This reminds me of another Japanese-related example of search-engine-driven historical research, the castaway Australian sailors: https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2017/may/28/austr... Or more lite…
This is the greatest weapon ever, the ministry of truth would never dream of something like this!
I 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/
PBS and BBC docs are still hanging on and pretty good. NOVA and Planet Earth series are great.
