[snip] Though the PBS "internal review" of the Gates-Affleck controversy is still in process, it is hard to see how, with these new revelations, the network can keep the series if Gates continues to be the host and executive producer. [/snip]

Personally, I think his ancestors owning slaves is a yawner. So what!
IMO the big story is Gates being ‘bought’ to cover it up.Destroys the credibility of him and his show.
