Would the history channel have a fighting chance to be good again if it was liberated from the clutches of Disney?

I don't have History Channel where I live, care to explain why it is/has become bad? I've always only heard good things about it

>>2393142
endless reality shows (pawn stars, that oak island show where nothing ever happens) that have little to do with history, and endless conspiracy bullshit shows/specials (hunting hitler).

It basically went history channel -> Hitler channel -> aliens channel -> ice trucker channel and certain people are butthurt over it.

It's actually an interesting study in capitalism in a way.

At the end of the day, History Channel needs to get ratings. It moved towards constant shows about Hitler and the Third Reich because that's such a notorious part of history that a lot of people are fascinated/cautious of, so it got viewers. Even then it wasn't profitable enough, so they were forced to gradually decrease their standards in return for niche audiences

same thing happened to TLC and Discovery

I used to love these channels growing up as a kid in the 90s. It's all I watched besides PBS, and watching them decline through my HS years was heartbreaking

At least the BBC is still cranking out decent stuff

>The dinosaurs were invisible. Real science agrees with the Bible.
I'm not even sure I understand what this mean. Where were they invisible?

My French colleague who comes from some town in the Alps mentioned the famous story of how Alexander the Great crossed the Alps with his elephants.

I've asked him who Alexander was fighting but he couldn't remember.

>>2393241
Don't you mean Hannibal? I didn't think Alexander never went west of greece

>Battlefield 1 is awesome, so raw flying a spitfire around instead of a jet
Legit happened. I sperged and revealed my power level

>>2393244

>Prior to the Spanish Empire, all wars were waged in the name of God
Wouldn't every ruler in Europe say that their war was in gods name? To give it legitimacy? You know "god is on our side!" And all that.

>>2393249
no? Alexander never encountered elephants until he got to India and promptly died in Babylon. He never even saw the Alps

>>2393301
You are a retard my friend.

>>2393301
Kek.

>>2393267
