A&E is scrapping plans for an eight-part documentary series about the Ku Klux Klan after finding out that some participants of the hate group were paid for their work on it.
The network said Saturday it was dropping “Escaping the KKK: A Documentary Series Exposing Hate in America” a day after discovering that “nominal” cash payments were given by third-party producers. […]

What?
Fake Fakery?
Cue Inspector Reynaud: “I’m Shocked!”
Fake documentary?
.
Why do people want to keep these guys alive?
Guess it won’t be a veiled diatribe against the president elect after all. My heart bleeds, the rabid left cannot get anything right. Poor little petulant children.
Wow, was Katie Couric involved in the production? Sounds right up her alley.
Good. I am tired of hearing about racial issues all the time. obama cannot leave office soon enough. He’s set race relations back 40 years.
Actors pretending to be Klansmen? Smells to high heaven.
How about a documentary on the BGF (Black Guerrilla Family).
Actors pretending to be Klansmen? Smells to high heaven.
Bingo. There is no operative Klan. Juts a few morons playing dress up.
A fakeumentary?
I thought all of the active KKK members were FBI agents on very deep cover. Can’t they exist on taxpayer payroll money, or do they need A&E money as well?
Fake news from [CTRL] [ALT] [LEFT] fake news central.
I’ll bet the FBI clued them in on how many agents they might endanger with the program. One thing I look forward to, is the reduction (it will not actually stop) in the warnings from various pressure groups and government agencies about the imminent danger posed by right-wing militias and disgruntled veterans.
How about an investigative documentary about the Southern Poverty Law Center. My BS meter goes right over top whenever these guys show up on TV.
They weren’t “payments” they we reparations!
They look like a bunch of nuts wearing dunce caps. Also note that they are not waving a Confederate flag.
Wonder if has really been canceled. We were watching something on A&E last night and there was at least 4 promos for it. I should note in the promo there was a klan kid wearing a Trump t-shirt.
EXACTLY what I was gonna say, Sam Clements. I didn’t read anything further than the header, but my first thought actually was, “The SPLC probaaby played some part in this, behind the scenes. Now I’ll have to read the rest.
