The greatest terrorist = US government

I have never seen a programme made by the BBC with such a US bias.
If Che Guevara is being labelled a terrorist then surely many, many programmes should be made for this series about the US terrorist activities on foreign soil?
Due to the motivation of this episode I was therefore not suprised by the blatant omission of the fact that Batista was a US backed dictator in Cuba - after all, what's a minor detail like that in the grand scheme of things?

I would never be as naive to think Che Guevara was a faultless human being having made no mistakes or wrong doings but so incorrectly portraying especially the political lead of events is remiss and leaves this programme more as a piece of propaganda in itself rather than historical education.
