One day of the ocho just doesn’t cut it when you had 24 hour coverage of Supercross, monster trucks, lumberjacks, poker, billiards, darts, and strong man contest.

Give me this shite back!

Same thing applies to the travel channel. They don’t have a single show based on travel.

It’s mostly shows based on ghosts, terrifying places and paranormal stories.

Same for The Learning Channel. Used to be a cool, science based channel. They actually changed their name to TLC and it’s all Toddlers & Tiara’s or Queer Eye, or Flippers.

The best part about the obscure stuff they used to show was that they found broadcast crews who knew everything about whatever the hell was going on. You’d watch some of those old X-Games with the weird events and get to listen to the Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit of barefoot water skiing or synchronized bungee jumping.

Original History Channel was amazing. I still watch their old documentaries when I can find them on youtube. Their other channel, History International, was amazing as well. They moved a lot of their older stuff to History International which sadly became defunct several years ago. They then replaced it with Vice

Hell, I think that stuff was on ESPN itself back when they first started. Moved to ESPN2 and then off the air as they grew and became so large and powerful.

Not diverse, equitable, or inclusive enough.

Propaganda can also be looked at as what gets left out... like cosmo magazine never having children or mom in it. They didn't want women to think of those things.

They don't want people to know actual history so they omit it.
