Tonight on our local PBS channels...

Is a preview of Ken Burns' documentary about the Vietnam War.

Hope it'll be good, since it's from Ken Burns, it likely will be.

On PBS decades ago, I saw a "documentary" made by "Accuracy In Media," they blamed the entire failure of the Vietnam War on "liberals in the media." Figures.

ETA: Google tells me series will air in Sept.

However, only Ken Burns knows how to make a preview interesting.

September seems to be the month for achieving optimal viewership for documentaries of this type. I anticipate that this newest work by Ken Burns will be worth watching.
