Is Ken Burns a legitimate, objective historian?

I started watching his documentary on Prohibition and got triggered by the use of the term "spousal rape".

Anyone got an opinion worth hearing on this guy?

Judging by just that quote hes got a 8th grade level understanding of history

Looks like David Duke in a bad disguise.

He looks like a washed up ex-hippy boomer. I would not believe a word he says.

"Spousal rape" makes a lot more sense if you are talking about the past though. Women objectively had less rights.

Rights in general were hard to come by.

I suspect he felt differently 25 years ago.

It's far more popular today, on the left, to believe that slavery was the cause of the civil war.

If he believed that 25 years ago, he probably would have given other historians far more air time in his documentary than Foote.

He is a midget creepy fraudster. He snarfed the ending shot of The Shining and turned into a career of cultural Marxist documentaria.

The Civil War was very well done, but I haven't really watched anything else of his.

Looks like a 55 year old metro fag

He has a look that is like Siegfried^Roy*AIDS.

glad i wasn't the only one who noticed that

Apparently, he endorsed Obama back in 2007 comparing him to Abraham fucking Lincoln. I guess he really is just another deluded libcuck. Sad.
>>
Is the old PBS documentary actually good?

Holy shit, we have found the Anti-David Duke.

Ekud Divad.

It's a very compelling introduction to the history. Further study is advised, but it's still very informative and entertaining.

Shelby Foote, may he rest in peace, pretty much steals the show.

David Duke is in good shape and would wipe the floor with Ken Burns in any type of contentious forum. He trounced Wolf Blitzer, Alex Jewnz and Paul Walker. This is the real reason the media hates him, not for what he is but for what he has done to embarrass them on their own turf.
