PBS: America's "Most Trusted Institution" and its Coverage of Islam
Gatestone Institute ^ | February 12, 2015 | Denis MacEoin

PBS may also be charged with having broadcast religious propaganda in place of balanced educational, instructional, and public information material, despite elaborate claims to the contrary.

The Muslim Brotherhood, in a 1991 memoir, spoke of its "work in America as a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within."

The role played by radical individuals in a PBS broadcast and website raises many serious questions, not just for the trustees of PBS, but for national agencies responsible for accuracy in the U.S. media.

If PBS does not publicly correct this confusion and revoke its association with the project, may we not ask just how trusted -- and publicly financed -- this outlet should really be?

I never listen to NPR because of its bias. Should I expect PBS to be less biased? Why must I pay for this?

Propaganda is the absence of truth

PBS and NPR are masters at propaganda.

I actually used to think Frontline was a solid show. Then I saw the Haiti episode about the earthquake. They spent a huge amount of time talking about how Haiti was hurt by the US...

Zero time on how literally as soon as they got their independence, they declared war on the Dominican Republic, got their butts whipped and turned the most profitable colony in the history of the world into an absolute dump from that point on.

“Trusted” by who?
The natural disposition is always to believe. It is acquired wisdom and experience only that teach incredulity, and they very seldom teach it enough. The wisest and most cautious of us all frequently gives credit to stories which he himself is afterwards both ashamed and astonished that he could possibly think of believing. - Adam Smith, Theory of Moral Sentiments
