@bradstevens Game had a successful book series, that is some indication. Do you oppose all public funding of arts or just this specific art?
Speaking of arts, the Kennedy Center is playing to near empty audiences.

That's the traditional American theater Trump insisted on.
I thought you meant they have objections to the documentary for some reason.

Trump and Braun want to kill public broadcasting.
Well, much like the Trump administration having problems with the Smithsonian exhibits, if Ken Burns even suggests that any founding father was less than a 100% perfect angel, you can be sure that there will be loud MAGA whining.
well, I’m no Maga, but I always object to historical inaccuracies, especially (for example) people who call modern day Republicans “Nazis“. That particular sport has caused more damage to this nation‘s ability to effectively discuss social problems, social policies, and effective government, than anything since the idiots who were slave owners, caused succession, took their justified ass-whipping, and whipped up Jim Crow just to make themselves feel like they still had some kind of dick in their britches
And yet Trump has used quite a bit of the Hitler playbook. like getting his sheep to distrust media. Hitler 101
Maybe if maga stopped acting like Nazis, people would stop calling them Nazis. Of course, being caught on camera with Nazi symbols doesn't help you pretend it is just a baseless accusation.
sorry i don't support politicians that borrow from the hitler playbook or display nazi symbols. Sadly that apparently can't be said about everyone.
You must not think much of Ken Burns. I think he is so good that he would have no trouble in the commercial market.
We shouldn’t trivialize the horrors of Nazi policy by mindlessly comparing current policy and politics to Nazis. That comparison is ignorant, damaging, and is the core message of today’s democrats.
We are talking about touring broadway shows, concerts, the national symphony, etc. Why do you think ticket sales have fallen? Is this a way to politicize ordinary entertainment?

You tell me. I can't wait to hear how the Democrats have ruined the Kennedy Center.
I'm not sure I do oppose it. I'm throwing up the best arguments agaisnt it. I find they have force. I'd say they are forceful regarding all public funding of arts.@bradstevens Game had a successful book series, that is some indication.

IDK. Attendance for touring broadway shows is strong areound the country except the Kennedy Center. Why?
He was an excellent writer and it holds up.@bradstevens Truman. Haven’t read it in 30 years. How was it?

Bad management?
If you don't know, why are you so certain it's political?
