On that Canadian show Love Hate and Propaganda they talk like the Americans were real nasties for fire bombing Tokyo and dropping the two A-bombs! They go on as how the ongoing propaganda was the real reason for these actions and no mention is made of what the alternatives would have meant. It's too bad Canadian TV can't take a more realistic approach.

Jon, I was not involved in this program...Been working on "The Kennedys" for sometime and before that I was working on "Dream House".

I never seem to get the Military shows..but then again, most are made on a shoe string.

Striking how dumbed-down these recent "documentaries" are compared to what was made 20 to 30 years ago.

But then a lot of 20 somethings don't know who was on what side in WWII anyway.

After the Valour and the Horror, Canada; a People's History and similar anglophobe drivel, I no longer bother to watch CBC/NFB pablum.

These are the people who "inserted" a black and a woman into the Avro Arrow design team. After all, we can't let people know it was all done by white guys!
