This is a normal post I would like to know this too.
Why do their animal documentaries tend to leave out reproduction and concentrate instead on violence? Why do their science/technology documentaries spend so long repeating the same 5 or 6 simple facts over and over? And why do they spend so long talking about corn?

Seriously I've never watched a corn documentary, but I've seen a dozen American documentaries where they spend 5-10 minutes discussing corn. Why is this?

This is a normal post They are pretty obsessed with corn.
I honestly dunno why. Corn is mostly shit.

This is a normal post Corn is a huge agricultural lobbying force in the US.
Spend a few minutes talking about corn and they probably give you money.

This is a normal post Oh yes, the mighty corn lobby.
There was one documentary I watched on the settlement of the Americas by the Europeans, which did not mention the puritans at all, claimed that settlers were escaping a Europe-wide overcrowding crisis(?!?!?!?), and discussed native Americans only in terms of their relationship to corn.

This is a normal post I guess religious extremism and subsequent genocide are tough subjects.

This is a normal post leave out reproduction - at a guess religious lobby
concentrate on violence - attracts/draws in the audience
repeating same facts - assumption that their audience watches so long before changing channel
corn - because its amaizeing
