"At the rate it's going I get the feeling (without analyzing) that PBS and Burns decided "no more than 30 minutes of real war documentary between each "America was awful then" gripe-session".

Okay...I'm sure this is not an original thought...but, I have to ask.

Why is it conservatives and other normal people have completely conceded Hollywood and the media to the liberals? (I deliberately excluded academia because I realize it's hopeless).

Is there not a studio or network out there even slightly interested in bankrolling an accurate account of anything...or does it all have to be liberally biased?

Hey, here's a novel concept: let's shoot the moon and find some struggling producer willing to put together the first-ever conservatively-biased account of some/any event in America's history.

I know I may be pipe dreaming here, but why is that (seemingly) such an unattainable dream...and why are we forever wallowing in liberal bias?

Maybe you haven't tried FOX News Channel?

And those wild-and-crazy guys that are
not-fired-only-because-they-actually-have-great-ratings
at CNN Glen Beck and Lou Dobbs?

Yes, liberal, revisionist drivel is the order of the day.

BUT, thanks to competition and "alternate" delivery systems like
AM talk radio and the Internet, truth-tellers have a fighting
chance.
Which is not something I would have felt in the early part of
"The Clinton Years".

And I fondly remember the first days I heard Rush Limbaugh on
radio while I was in an academic lab that was on the cutting edge
of political-correctness.

But for Rush, I'd just thought I was the guy that was going insane then!

Listening to Rush then on the radio...reminded me of poor souls behind
the Iron Curtain tuning in Radio Free Europe/Voice of America
discovering voices of reason/truth...while they lived in the hell
of "a workers' paradise".

Hence my Free Republic Handle of "VOA".

And what would have a “conservatively-biased” account be?

I am very conservative. But facts are facts. We fought well, we lost some we finally won. (Thank you Lord).

There is plenty of positive in this series. No..It’s not a John Wayne movie. But our guys fought really hard, under bad circumstances. Not all parts of American history are flattering.
