But when "science" channels present pseudoscience like the "Ancient Aliens" or push bible shows as real historical content is simply inexcusable!<br /><br />Regrettably, the argument used by producers of this crap is that it sells. And, apparently, it does. All our complaining won't amount to a thing if people continue to accept this trash as science programming.Chuck Doswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03099345055614900157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2759913671101666257.post-32812436456827808942011-12-30T01:38:20.921-06:002011-12-30T01:38:20.921-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Chuck Doswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03099345055614900157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2759913671101666257.post-32429444338023425692011-12-29T22:23:32.506-06:002011-12-29T22:23:32.506-06:00This is part of an alarming trend of sensationaliz...This is part of an alarming trend of sensationalizing "science" programs. Are Americans so numb that they don't find <b>REAL</b> science interesting? Did the producers of the "Earth going wild" show think that they needed fictional excitement to get people to watch it? The History Channel suffers from a similar malady, as evidenced by their <a href="http://www.history.com/shows/ancient-aliens" rel="nofollow">show and web site on <b>Ancient Aliens</b></a>, a goofy series that shows "evidence" of extraterrestrials visiting Earth in the past, which of course is more bullshit designed to get viewers. And a local TV "news" show in Tucson spends a lot of time on the idiotic Kardashians, horoscopes and magic as real, while misreporting real science. Like Chuck, we need to all speak up and object to this nonsense, and tell the corporate idiots in charge of these channels that they must clean up their act. Our civilization is in trouble, sadly. <b>WE MUST ALL SPEAK UP AND IMPROVE SCIENCE KNOWLEDGE IN TODAY'S WORLD!</b> When I speak to kids in schools and civic groups about astronomy, how the Earth works, and science in general, people are fascinated and want to know more, so there is still hope out there. The problem is not enough science education in schools, and not enough ways for adults to learn about real science now that TV programs are becoming fictionalized. -Loretta McKibben, Tucson, ArizonaLoretta McKibbenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05733147554185657640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2759913671101666257.post-61844005805896456832011-12-27T17:04:34.976-06:002011-12-27T17:04:34.976-06:00Very well put Chuck...like most tv productions the...Very well put Chuck...like most tv productions they like dealing in sensationalism!
