Nope, lets highlight the evil america.

Manzanar National Historic Site (U.S. National Park Service)

Then for good measure.....the show concludes with my favorite Ken Burns them....RACISM! Thats right folks, the National Parks and Racism, go figure. Burns tells how the balck opera singer could not sing in an white theatre so she sang at the Lincoln Memorial, which is a National Park, how ever we had to HIGHLIGHT the racism. Get over it Ken, time to move on. Just 60 years ago in the small town in Connecticut my parents grew up in. The wops hated the polocks, who hated the germans.....etc. Welcome to America, they got over it, bought time you did too Ken.

I don't think you're paying attention to the theme of the program, that the National Parks Service has been preserving not just natural wonders, but also monuments to (often negative) events that have shaped American history like Manzanar, the slave trade, Oklahoma City etc...

I find the program to be boring, not liberal.
