Welcome to kindergarten (for ever)

Another evening, another historical documentary on TV and guess who it's about......Hitler! There you go, lap it up you stupid masses: the world is nicely divided into Goodies and Baddies, light and darkness, etc. The English speaking people are Goodies, and the non-English ones are Baddies. History only goes back 60 years, and God made them Hitler, Stalin, Churchill, and Roosevelt.

Here's the ultimate question, a real case of chicken or egg: is historical teaching limited exclusively to Hitler because people are dumb, ie. is it a result of consumer demand? Or are people dumb because their media doesn't perform its role as a public educator and merely produces years worth of Hitler documentaries. Let's open up a forum. Perhaps I will petition the BBC.
