I don’t really know his politics, but I think there’s a reason why all his works are on PBS.
Burns claims he’s a ‘yellow dog Democrat’
Burns did a series on the Dust Bowl. He was interviewed about it, and he is convinced that the only possible solution to the dust bowl was a large federal government, which set up a bunch of alphabet agencies in response. He’s a big government guy.
He's definitely part of the looney left. During the election, he and another PBS stalwart - travel guru Rick Steves - were both firmly in the "Trump is Hitler" camp.
Ken Burns is a typical New England Leftist...
