A documentary seeking answers to why we never hear the voices of moderate muslims. The series was banned by PBS, allegedly because of political bias. PBS is funded by taxpayer's money. The series is filmed in Denmark, Canada and USA.

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 requires a strict adherence to objectivity and balance in all programs or series of programs of a controversial nature. So, there's no crime or injustice here. FOX News was more than happy to air your hatespeech.

Not so much as I'd call it hatespeech, but PBS pulling a program in order to continue it's negative bias on the Islamic community does more then deface itself as a fair news publication. You do understand that much of what is shown is more or less reality don't you?

Is refusing to put something on your airwaves really banning it? Because if so, I'm banned on every station on the dial.

Since when is PBS objective and balanced? Bill Moyers has been their go-to guy for decades now and that never tipped you off? Why are you so vitriolic right out of the gate anyway?

I'm watching them through right now and I think that the links for #2 and #5 are for the same video.
