Ken Burns on the Steroid Era in Baseball

I've been re-watching the Civil War documentary on PBS, which is just so good. Most documentary filmmaking is meant to manipulate your emotions (think Michael Moore or Bill Maher), and while it can be entertaining (if you agree with them), it's basically propaganda. After hearing Ken Burns' take on the steroid era, you realize why he's head-and-shoulders above the rest.

In this clip, he gives probably the most level-headed commentary about steroid use in baseball I've heard.

The baseball comments don't come until the 3:25 mark. He talks about his newest project first, which interesting in itself.
