Fucking Discovery Channel Canada isn't showing the Tom Brokaw special
Discovery Channel in Canada has different ownership than Discovery Channel Communications Inc.

The ownership is famous for right-of-center editorial control (CTV).

G-dammit.

Wikipedia calls the channel
"a Canadian cable television specialty channel devoted to science and nature programming"

So what are they showing tonight? American Chopper: Celebrity Build.

What the FUCK is scientific or natural about that garbage?

I hope someone can post an objective review of this Brokaw program, cause I'm really curious. Is it being played up in the States much? Well advertised, I mean?

2. It is pretty good:
Vast melted ice caves with rivers and water falls thru them in Patagonia, the huge chunk of Antartica just going away...now the Amazonian role is on.

3. Hey thanks. Try to judge if the non-choir member watching
will come away with something....such as a conviction that it's real and needs to be acted against.

I'd be interested to get opinions on that..

5. Scientists didn't know
until about 5 years ago there was global warming. That must make Gore a friggin' genius.
Maybe they should have paid more attention. Gore has been telling them for 30 years already.

6. I was about to post on my thread that that was the one quibble I had...
with an otherwise excellent special. "We just figured it out!" Bullshit.
