The Media - our Public Broadcasting System
I guess PBS has an agenda, too...
At FrontPageMag.com, Bill Steigerwald tells us about PBS and Martyn Burke:
"Canadian novelist and veteran documentary filmmaker Martyn Burke is not someone you'd expect to get into an ugly ideological spitting match with the folks who run PBS.
Burke, who lives and works in the heart of the Hollywood creative community, considers himself neither conservative nor liberal. But 'Islam vs. Islamist,' the documentary he made about how moderate Muslims are being silenced and intimidated by Islamist extremists, will not be part of 'America at a Crossroads,' PBS's new 11-part, six-night series about post-9/11 America that begins Sunday night at 9. Executives at WETA in Washington, D.C., the public station overseeing the series for PBS, say the documentary was cut from the 'Crossroads' lineup because it wasn't completed in time and because it was 'alarmist' and not objective."
