Grassley pounds History Channel for lack of history
Something has been eating at Chuck Grassley. It started back in February, when the Iowa senator and history lover turned on the History Channel and didn’t like what he saw. More precisely, he didn’t see what he liked: history.
“No history,” Grassley tweeted on Feb. 19. “I used to get history. Why do we have such a channel when it doesn’t do history.”
A week later, the senator turned to the History Channel and found, not black and white footage of Nazis, but “Mud Cats.” Again Grassley took to Twitter to express his displeasure. “When will they put history back on the channel,” he tweeted.
And again on March 10: “Just tuned to History Channel. Once again no history.” Later that day, with increasingly erratic punctuation: “Turned to History Channel. No. History again.”
