To be fair, that's not solely Fox's problem but a larger issue on TV news, still reliant as it is on what Neil Postman once called "simplistic, nonsubstantive, nonhistorical, and noncontextual" visual techniques (and, these days, curated tweets).

John Barton argues that the term "historical-critical method" conflates two nonidentical distinctions, and prefers the term "Biblical criticism": ::Historical study... can be either critical or noncritical; and critical study can be historical or nonhistorical. This suggests that the term "historical-critical method" is an awkward hybrid and might better be avoided. John Barton, The Nature of Biblical Criticism, Westminster John Knox Press (2007), p. 39.

Programs such as Modern Marvels have been praised for their presentation of detailed information in an entertaining format. Some of the network's series, including Ice Road Truckers, Ax Men, and Pawn Stars, garnered increased viewership ratings in the United States, while receiving criticism over the series' nonhistorical nature. U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley is a critic of the channel and its lack of historical or educational programming, showing particular disdain for the latter two programs.Malone, Noreen (March 20, 2012).

Lord Raglan developed his concept of the "Mythic Hero" as an archetype, based on a ritualistic interpretation of myth, in his 1936 book, The Hero, A Study in Tradition, Myth and Drama. It is a set of 22 common traits that he said were shared by many heroes in various cultures, myths and religions throughout history and around the world. Raglan argued that the higher the score, the more likely the figure's biography is mythical. Raglan did not categorically deny the historicity of the Heroes he looked at, rather it was their common biographies he considered as nonhistorical.

The mill cottage and later added extensions and dormers is a colonial-era timber-frame saltbox. It was restored to its 1880s appearance, when it was last renovated by Jonathan Thompson Gardiner. The artist Percy Moran, a nephew of renowned artist Thomas Moran of the Hudson River School of painting, lived there in the early-20th century and the cottage had fallen into dis-repair The decision to replace the structure with a replica was cast as a compromise to restoration. Some nonhistorical add-ons to the original cottage, including porches and dormers, were removed, and the 1880 front porch was reconstructed.

Folklorist Alan Dundes has noted that Raglan did not categorically deny the historicity of the Heroes he looked at, rather it was their common biographies he considered as nonhistorical. Furthermore, Dundes noted that Raglan himself had admitted that his choice of 22 incidents, as opposed to any other number of incidents, was arbitrarily chosen. Though Lord Raglan took stories about heroes as literal and even equated heroes with gods, Otto Rank took stories as symbolic. Folklorist Francis Utley claimed to have demonstrated serious flaws in using Raglan's list for determining mythical or historical nature of any person or account by applying them on definite historical people such as Abraham Lincoln.

Raphaël, The Transfiguration, 1520, Vatican Drews asserted that everything about the story of Jesus had a mythical character, and that it was therefore not necessary to presuppose that a historical Jesus had ever existed. In fact, Christianity could have developed without Jesus, but not without Paul, and certainly not without Isaiah.Walter P. Weaver, The Historical Jesus in the Twentieth Century, 1900–1950, Ch. 2, "The Nonhistorical Jesus", Section on "Arthur Drews", p. 49-54 (Trinity Press, 1999) Drews concludes in the last chapter, "The Religious Problem of the Present": > The Christ-faith arose quite independently of any historical personality > known to us ;... Jesus was in this sense a product of the religious social > soul and was made by Paul, with the required amount of reinterpretation and > reconstruction, the chief interest of those communities founded by him.
