The Greatest Story Never Told: Adolf Hitler
- Thread starter myself

Yeah.
You dont laugh Muir. You're clinically depressed and suffer from other problems too.
Pick any story and you can find somebody who never told it.
Point being that with that title I find the content hard to take seriously. It makes it sound like a parody.
Edit: Also I find it unethical and bias inducing to try and get people excited about something before they even view it, when it pertains to documentaries and supposed facts. That's a stunt which the media in fact does itself.
Ok but what do you think of what is being said in the documentary?
Remember that the title is there to A. hook people in and B. make a political statement that history has been written by the victors and refelcts their viewpoint
I don't really care. It doesn't sway me. Yet another viewpoint.
However I think "hooking people in" is wrong, and making "political statements" is futile. As if they're the ones who have it right this time, and not pushing any agenda whatsoever. Please.
The more people want me to know something the less I'm inclined to believe them. Independent sources aren't immune from bullshit.
Serious question: can you please point me to the highlights in print form? This is all hype and no info.
well who's going to read that?
Come on sprinkles if you read that on a page you'd yawn and scroll on down
But if you read:
''the greatest story never told''....
...you'd wanna know what the greatest story never told was....it acts as a hook...and the writer(s) want to get the story out to as many people as possible
No. I wouldn't. And I don't. I'm not going to watch 6 hours of hyperbole - that'd be 6 hours of my life that I can't get back.
This is about information, not entertainment. By making people excited you do them a cognitive disservice, because 'exciting' may equate to 'important' and it is an easy step to go from 'important' to 'true' so now you have a bias just from the title alone.
Yeah and lets be honest who's interested in Hitler anymore?
Most of the hyping of Hitler from before the end of the war until about the ninties was probably the world of the allies building up their enemy into something incredible to make themselves feel like they had achieved something even more earth shattering than winning a world war.
Well whenever you look at anything you should always take into account that it is likely to have a bias but that doesn't mean it should necessarily be idscarded but rather that the bias should be kept into account and cross referenced with other accounts
So if a person always listens to one side of an argument can they be sure that they will always know the full story?
For example if a court was dealing with disputes but it only ever listened to one of the two parties involved would justice always be served?
Well he can't be that much of a loser if he's riding around on the king of the dinosaurs
Yes but notice how in courts things are very boring. They have titles such as "Joe vs. The State" and not "The Epic Court Battle Never Told"
I wonder why.
Well they use the one/two knock-out punch of boredom and legalese/latin to keep the leyman clueless and under the power of the lawyers!
The courts are all saturnian and lock you down into the system
The doco though is trying to get people to sit up and pay attention whilst the courts want you bamboozled
