How can that be? Aren't they into keeping people ignorant by spewing lies and propaganda?

I used to work with them, the entertainment network, and that's how I explain it.

We're not really all that interesting to me in this particular context ... I'd rather hear all about what led up to 'us', and about all the rest of the universe and it's history.

There's a bajillion studies about 'humans' and what all makes US ... sOOOOO amazing ... but when it comes to 'nature' shows, I kinda want them to be about everything that's NOT ... humans.

Not baggin' on Tyson, I love that guy ... but in my book the best nature shows carry on as if there's no such thing as humans, save perhaps a bit about the prominent scientists and researchers who directly made the discoveries.

I'll still watch, of course
