See, if you read those eight scenes, its pretty clear that Surnow ordered up a hatchet job from every trash the Kennedys book ever written. From Hersh backwards to the Blairs.
ANd this is what he tried to deny when Greenwald started attacking him.
The problem for History Channel is the thing cost 30 million. So they have tried to sell it to other cable channels. But Greenwald did such a good job that the thing has a stench about it. (BTW, I do not buy the idea that the Kennedys had anything to do with it. This is just MSM BS that is always handed down in these situations. It covers their butts for not doing their jobs.)
For a major network, thirty million may not be all that much. But for a cable TV channel, it is. If no one picks it up, and it looks like no one will, then I am not sure they can make up their negative cost abroad. They will probably eat about half of it.
Greenwald did a salutary service for us all. It should serve as a model for both Hanks and DiCaprio.
