Subj: Balkan Tinderbox
I am a frequent viewer of History channel and generaly recommend the
program to my friends and encourage my children to learn from it. I may
differ in some interpretations and opinions,but rarely had a cause to
write to you. What disturbed me was the above presentation.Filled with
inaccuracies to the point that I believe it is blatant disregard for
journalism and honesty in reporting.I am obviously not a Serb and may have
somewhat less objective view ,but if you cared to check your references
you will find a barrel of malicious propaganda. How could you let this
happen?! The list of “errors” is too long to go over,they are continuous.
So, I am not only distressed with this, but will be very reluctant in
future spend my time with “H”, let alone recommend it.

Subject: Olympics
Dear Sir,
Who ever decided where and when to put the commercials during the
presentation of countries at the opening ceremonies of the Olympics ought
to have his head examined! It was a monumental mistake, as NBC ought to
realize that these countries, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Turkey and
several others were badly slighted by such cavalier action.
Every country participating in the Olympics has the right to be
acknowledged. It should not be too difficult to show the commercials,
both, before the start of the ceremony and afterward, but never in
between the parade. Cutting out any country is inexcusable. I hope this
is the last time we see such unfairness.
Sincerely, but very annoyed,
Hilda Maria Foley
