You don't need a bunch of paranoid right-wing garbage to explain the problem (although I suppose if you adopt the name of a Waffen-SS general, maybe you do need it?). The sort of programs and websites that so incense you are simply made by people whose self-confidence vastly and need for an audience exceed their knowledge of the subject in question. Serious history takes lots of patience, dedication effort and money to produce, and with no guaranteed result: qualities almost entirely incompatible with multi-channel TV. The problem is simply one of a commercial context that favours or indeed demands superficiality.
