Forwarded just FYI, no comment as I am ignorant on all other  than the left 
wing bias of Public Television.

Subj: About the new Ken Burns Film on  RVN


This is an FYI piece - I have known that Ken Burns is a bit  'liberal' in 
his thinking so one tends to discount some of what he produces -  his Vietnam 
film must a bit over the top since Public TV is advertising and  pushing it 
so much - the following from one of us
 
Subject: Ken Burns Documentary 
I hope all is going well with you!  This is Fred  Koster, the Director of 
Ride the Thunder.  Below is an extremely  important and urgent update.  If 
you would please share this email, it  would make people aware of what is 
coming soon.  Also, if possible, we  would like to interview you.  
The "final battle" in how the Vietnam War will be  remembered in history, 
will happen this year when Ken Burns releases his 18  hour Vietnam War 
documentary (which has been endorsed by John Kerry) and  Steven Spielberg HUGE new 
movie release on the Pentagon Papers starring Tom  Hanks and Meryl Streep. 
Now is the time to take action against these films,  there are "no" 
tomorrows if we don't challenge them now. We are currently in  production on a new 
incredibly powerful and shocking show that will run  against these films and 
expose the truth of the war like it has never been  done before. We need 
your help, if you know of anyone who has any new  information on the war, or 
any new video or photos, please tell them to  contact me as soon as possible

The Burns Film: 
No mention of communism, the left always did their best to  convince the 
American people that we were fighting the Vietnamese not that we  were 
fighting with the Vietnamese against communism 
No mention of the Soviet Union or Chinese  involvement 
No mention of any type of victory or heroics of the  Americans or South 
Vietnamese 
No mention of the South Vietnamese people (they do not want  to recognize 
South Vietnam) 
No mention of the communist atrocities 
No mention of the 250,000 boat people who died in the ocean  trying escape 
No mention of the millions of refugees 
No mention of our ally- the Hmong people 
The continued propaganda that we were fighting the  Vietnamese not 
communism 
How incredible and wonderful Vietnam is now under  communism.  It looks 
like an advertisement. 
Emphasis on the struggle of the North Vietnamese and how  brave they were 
The show opens with an USA air bombardment of the  North 
Then the misleading statement that the war was fought both  in the north 
and the south 
An incredible horrible scene of a Viet Cong soldier  describing how our 
soldiers were weeping about their killed  companions 
One of the main music composers of the film is  Chinese 
A good portion of the preview is about the music yet they  have no time to 
show the South Vietnamese or the valor of our  troops. 
There is much more.
