Demand "History" Use Legitamite Research!

I have noticed an ever growing trend in this network to air episodes on far flung theories on the supernatural. Take for instance "Decoding the Past: Doomsday 2012: End of Days" or the "The Bible Code: Predicting Armageddon", in addition to a long litany of programs detailing UFO's, predictions of Nostradamus, and the Loch Ness Monster. None of these programs deal with legitimate peer reviewed academic research, and lend legitimacy to individuals who have absolutely no credibility in anything remotely resembling scholarly endeavour or historical inquiry. Not only is this network raping the subject of history it supposedly broadcasts, it is also promoting the VERY dangerous trend in American thought in which ANY claim that is debated is presented as if both sides have a legitimate argument.
None of the UFO "researchers" or religious fanatics presented seriously on "History" have any scientific, academic, or even logical support in their claims. They are allowed to use doubt and uncertainty as the only proof of extraterrestrial contact, government cover ups, the rapture, or any outlandish claim they decide to support. I already had complaints about this channel's very narrow scope of legitimate programing, rarely venturing outside of Western civilizations and warfare, but this is unforgivable.
I DEMAND that "History" either revoke their illegitimate, lunatic breeding, poisonous programming, or change their name to a more appropriate one that does not give intellectual credibility to the likely insane. Some possible suggestions:
*Manly Men Doing Manly Things In The Presence Of Other Manly Men Channel
*The Impossible to Prove Predictions of an Unlikely Future Channel
*The Rapture Channel
*Western Warfare and Armageddon Channel
I'm sure other members on this board have MANY other suggestions.

I kind of like "A FAT GUY DOING A "DANGEROUS" JOB CHANNEL".
