Chuck Grassley upset with History Channel

[Will E Worm]

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.”

I didn't hear anything from him when it was mostly about Hitler. :tongue: He needs to learn how to turn the channel.

Grassley tweeted on March 1st, How do I keep people off my lawn!

Grassley then tweeted about no music on Mtv; no Discovery on Discovery; nothing worth cheering about on Bravo; no Arts or Entertainment on A & E and no truth on Trutv.

What's your point?

This is how I envisioned him when I read his Tweets:

History Channel has become the Travel Channel meets National Geographic.

Ah well I simply do not watch it anymore. Nor the latter two. I take that back, I do watch Anthony Bourdain. I'll always watch Anthony Bourdain.

He'll probaly have a Senate hearing on why there is no history on The History Channel. Because he will want to show his constituents nothing gets past him.

This thread actually reminds me of the episode of South Park.

I remember quite enjoying The History Channel, before it became reality TV central.

I thought History channel was about going to swap meets, tearing copper pipes out of abandoned buildings, and hillbillys in swamps these days.

It's his life and he can do as he pleases.

These are the words of a certain board member in regards to a fat kid chowing down on Chicken McNuggets. This Senator, however, is not free to voice his opinion about the demise of The History Channel? The last I checked, freedom wasn't a selective thing. There was also something said about learning how to change the channel. Fair enough, but couldn't the same thing be said about following the tweets of someone you don't agree with?

Anthony Bourdain has the greatest job on this planet. Travel to exotic places, try great foods and drink beer. I don't care if your job is the Orgasm Supplier at a sorority, I would rather have Mr. Bourdain's job

I was channel surfing one day, and I thought "cool!! Goodfellas!! I'm going to watch this". Then there were commercials and I found out it was actually the Lifetime channel. I can't believe they actually were showing Goodfellas on Lifetime. It must be because just about every movie on Lifetime is about how all men are scum.
