I suppose they had to have him on the series to be "fair". The guy is nuts. I had no idea he was a registered Democrat though and that he admires Kennedy. Some of the exchanges with opponents were very informative. But overall, I felt that his claims were not sufficiently debunked.

3. I caught a little bit of it, because somebody in the household was watching.
It has precipitated a family crisis and a change in rules regarding television usage.

From reading what others are saying, it sounds like the whole series is "fair" and "balanced". :puke:

PS I felt this way the first night of the series when
the origins of show aired with piss poor historical
analysis and context.

6. Wow. Thanks for the link!
That was very informative and pretty much gave words to a general disappointment I experienced watching the first 3 segments.
