PBS refuses to air Islam documentary
The following was taken from BillOReilly.com after airing on the factor April 26, 2007. His guest was documentary producer Frank Gaffney. This documentary was paid for by taxpayer funds through PBS. PBS will not air this documentary. I wonder why...
Public television, which runs scores of programs by Bill Moyers and other left-leaning producers, is now refusing to air a documentary called "Islam vs. Islamists." Frank Gaffney, a prominent conservative and a producer of the film, gave his side of the controversy. "Our film spotlights people who are standing up for democratic values and principles. I don't know what PBS's motivations were, but I do know that the voices of moderate Muslims are being suppressed by people who control the public airwaves. And the practical effect of it is that it is helping the Islamists in America and elsewhere in the West."
News Link: PBS refuses to air documentary
Now I already can hear the argument for suppressing this documentary but I think that if PBS is going to represent one side of the issue through Bill Moyers' bias documentary then it is only right that we expect them to show the other side as well. After all we paid for it.

Well, I'm not sure I hear the argument. Unless the documentary was poorly made, or was a complete right-wing propaganda film, I would like to see it aired. I know a few muslims who are tired of the same crap on T.V. portraying them as "islamofascists" and primitives.
Moyers is liberally biased? He's an actual journalist, which may be why he riles up the propagandists like O'Reilly and those at Faux News, but I've never seen him as biased. Curious.
