Thought-control

"Islam vs Islamists," a taxpayer-funded documentary told novelistically by moderate and radical imams, is being withheld from the public, says Roger L. Simon, one of the few who has seen it:

"PBS is operating here in the manner of similar institutions in the former Soviet Union and in modern day Iran – financing artists and then withholding distribution of their work when it is not deemed ideologically ‘correct’. It’s a form of thought-control…"

Well, they wouldn’t want Bush’s "scare tactics" to look justified, now would they? Read all of Simon’s take, and watch the trailer. Then read more about the doc and sign the petition to make it available. What we really need is a petition to dismantle PBS.

  1. It also looks as though PBS might hold up Ken Burns newest film about WW2 because Burns didnt include any Latino talking heads in his effort. The PC police are everywhere these days, it seems.

    Yep, they are. But I think Burns deserves it for going with the standard, exclusionary history of the war, instead of presenting an updated flick.
