a theory I saw today

[Melamphoros]

When they introduced the Sarah Palin nature show is when I was completely and utterly revolted and damn near stopped watching all their networks. I mean really, a woman who signs the ok for shooting wolves from helicopters and these programming idiots want to hear her idiotic ramblings? Too much programming is just about sensationalism and greed.

To be fair, that only applies to the Discovery Networks (the Sarah Palin show was on TLC). THC is more closely affiliated with A&E and Lifetime. NatGeo is, I think, owned by News Corp.

Oddly, NatGeo is probably the only one that bothers to fact-check.

I could have sworn Discovery, Animal Planet, and TLC were all owned by Discovery.

But yes, NatGeo does seem to be a bit better, and the fact that NewsCorp owns them just blows my mind. Although I have heard the News side of the company is drasically different from the other aspects of it, such as the movie side..

They are, but your post sounded like you were lumping all of the stations (including THC + affiliates and NatGeo) together when only Discovery (and other channels with "Discovery" in it's name), Animal Planet, and TLC are affiliated.

Now that I think about it, The Science Channel seems to be well researched. Investigation Discovery is also pretty good if you are interested in true crime stories (or at least it's better than that abomination once known as Court TV). Heck, you can say what you want about the regular Discovery Channel but at least it's a step better than THC.

Just look at the difference between Fox News and Fox Broadcasting and/or FX.

No doubt. Those two stations are polar opposites to me. I HATE Fox News, but FX has some of my favorite shows.

Agreed with you all! and I am pretty sure aliens dont care about our species lol I changed the channle guy was like "aliens came down to earth, obeserved it, took two animals made a hyrbid and brought it back to earth." I was like okay lol I had enough of this today.

[SunflowerP]

Okay so I was watching the history channle today, and I was watching something really interesting. It was about hyrbrid creatures such as half dog half cat etc. The theory said that aliens brought down these creatures to earth. It showed like dragons and said they were creatated by aliens. I can't really wrap my head around that lol. What are your views on this?

Bad Science. Aliens. And nothing paranormal that I can see.

My view is that this belongs in the Into The Twilight Zone forum's Pseudoscience folder, and I'm going to move it there as soon as I finish posting this reply. I'll note, Addy, that this isn't a criticism of you (my guess is that you didn't even know we had a more suitable folder than this one) - but it certainly reflects what I think of the show you describe.

Randallism Alert: I did not, after all, move it to the Pseudoscience folder, I moved it to the Psuedoscience folder. That needs fixed, because I like and believe in microfibre much more than I like or believe in aliens doing bio-magic.

That is the reason I decided to drop the knowledge package! I only got them originally because I thought THC would have more history... how naive of me

[SatSekhem]

That the History Channel is stooping to new lows for ratings?

Yep. That. Right there.
