PostSubject: Ridley Scott's Gettysburg 2011 - Hey History Channel, Want to Know What We Thought?   Wed Jun 01, 2011 11:13 am

As many of you know we opened up our Facebook Page to thoughts on the Ridley Scott Gettysburg that played on the History Channel on Memorial Day 2011. I think it is safe to say most reenactors were pretty disgusted by this show and would probably rate it as one of the worst Civil War documentaries of all time.

Now it is my hope that maybe the History Channel will take note of this and make efforts to improve their programming -- not to mention their reputation amongst people that should be their biggest fans.

Follow the link below to see what many reenactors thought of the 2011 Gettysburg show.

Also, feel free to add more thoughts either on the Facebook Page or below. We would love to hear them.

HA! I was reading the History Channel website and saw this in small font at the bottom of a page:




Fact Check We strive for accuracy and fairness. But if you see something that doesn't look right, contact us!

(By the way, is "fairness" a euphemism for "political correctness"? You know, kinda like the TSO's at airports refer to your genitals as "resistance"??)
