I have major reservations with anything that PBS is involved in. FilmCutter may feel it is a fair documentary, and I haven’t seen it so can’t comment one way or another. But I’ve voiced my reservations. Its seems others on this and the other thread have been even more vocal.

But if FilmCutter hasn’t done his homework as to what FreeRepublic members expect as ‘fair and balanced’, then he deserves to take shots when advertising his work here.

Filmcutter may well be the most conservative employee at PBS. NPR employees see Juan Williams as a conservative. Everything is perspective. As my grandmother used to say (she had a lot of great sayings) "in a room full of blind men the one-eyed man is king." I believe filmcutter when he says he is conservative. I just don't believe that PBS would spend money on a conservative perspective about the battle of Iraq.

I remember when Frank Gaffney had a contract from PBS to make a film about muslims in America for a world religion series . The suits at PBS did not like the message in what he made, which he considered to be truthful, and they refused to air his film.

PBS at a Crossroads

Why is a film on moderate Islam being suppressed?

By Frank J. Gaffney Jr.

On March 21, the ranking Republican on the House Appropriations subcommittee that oversees the federal budgets of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) and Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) challenged the leaders of those two organizations concerning their handling of the film Islam vs. Islamists: Voices from the Muslim Center. The film was produced at a cost of some $675,000 in taxpayer funds for the PBS series “America at a Crossroads,” which will begin airing next week.
